Thanks for the advice!! Today i am day 4 post op and i cannot believe how overnight i became soreness free!!! I even slept on my side last nite!! I feel great!! The only bad thing is the disgusting smelling gas....soooooo foul!!! Hope thT stops soon..lok

Today has been the worst day as far as feeling bloated and gassy....i drank too much water too fast i guess cause ive been very uncomfortable since..even eating a popsicle makes me miserable.....the gas x strips have become my best friend....i know i am in the healing stage but when will this bloat/ gassy feeling go away??
