Hi everyone!
I love all the info and support on this forum. I'm not sharing my surgery with many folks so......I need to have a place to go when I need info and in turn, hopefully provide help to others. The surgery was a breeze. The recovery stinks. The trapped gas is miserable. I will just be glad to feel......normal again. I didn't take off any time to recover and my body is feeling the pain. Anyone have any soothing ideas until the worst part is over? It will be over want it?

Thanks for the support!

Lovin' those liquids in Houston!

welcome to bandland.

i heard walking helps the gas (i didnt have gas issues). get up as often as you can and walk. also dont forget to keep yourself hydrated.

good luck!!
