What you are experiencing is the most common complaint from patients receiving laperoscopy gallbladder surg (or any lap surg). The only advice is to cut back on foods which exacerbate (worsen) the gas pain and walk, walk, walk, walk. No meds help this. An additional word about diets, avoid gassy foods (cabbage, fat, etc.)for now. You can reintroduce them into your diet as you heal. You may have to alter your diet back to soups/broths/crackers/rice/juices(not prune) for a little while. I do know you'll get better in time :-)
