Glad you are not having a lot of pain. What you are describing sounds like gas to me. It takes several days to get all of the anesthesia gases out of your system. They absorb into your muscles/tissues and can "float" around until you pass them. Have you tried the gas x strips? I took them 2 or 3 times a day post op and it helped to control things. It is a good idea to keep doing the deep breathing (Insentive Spirometer Exercises) too to work that anesthesia out of your lungs. Glad you are doing well and congrats on your surgery!
