I had my surgery on the 15th. I still have some gas. I talked to my Dr.'s nurse and she said that
it was normal to have gas for up to a week after surgery. As for the pain when drinking...I had to take baby sips...and she said that will get better too. I go tomorrow for my first visit to see my Dr after my surgery.
Yesterday I didn't drink enough liquids and I could tell, So today I have sipped , sipped , sipped.
