when I get up and move around I can feel the bubbles move and it kills. They gave me tons of reflux meds in the hospital and I start prilosec tomorrow morning. my belly is just full of gas. It wont come out.... i toot every now and again but its is only a small relief. Omg thank you guys for being on this board.... I really dont know what I would do without you!!! THANK YOU!! I am hoping my monday I can tolerate the pain better and walk around more easily.

omg guys.... i thought once I got home I would be so much better..... HOW WRONG WAS I. Please tell me this gas pain get better. I have been taking my gas-ex every six hour but It does NOTHING!! im laying in bed in agony. I need to eat and drink so I dont get dehydrated but it all just hurts so much. I just took tylenol but nothing seems to be taking the edge off.... when does the pain start to go away???

so the headache turned into migraine and nothing would touch it. So I have only gotten up twice today to walk the halls which im not proud of. The dr ordered me a med that I am waiting for. Kind funny how my belly pain is nothing compared to this headache. I GOT TO TAKE A SHOWER! it was amazing!!! LOL i feel so hungry but when I try to drink or eat Jello it kinda hurts. I really can't wait to just hurt at home.... it's lonely in the hospital :-(

Yes I was walking around yest in my room. But this morning I was up bright and early and walked the halls for 15-30 mins. I did it until I was tired. Walking makes me feel so much better. I have a killer headache from clenching my teeth so much for pain of getting in and out of the bed. Thats the hardest part of this whole thing... the damn bed LOL Today I start taking my pain meds by mouth which makes me happy the iv pain meds make me super sick to my stomach. I haven't "tooted" yet LOL I have to do that before I leave so I keep walking hoping it moves the gas around. Any other words of advice ladies?? Thanks for keeping tabs on me Mcbutterpants!!

oh my goodness I was super nervous!! But now I am sitting here in my room hoping to be discharged tomorrow!! Totally worth it! Everything will be fabulous!! Keep up updated!!

Hey guys. Surgery went well. Laying in bed all loopy like LOL. there is pain at one spot on my belly but no where else really. I have been tolerating Water well. and can drink 1 oz every 15 minutes. I AM SO DRY. my mouth is ssssoooooo dry. I never had to get the cath which I was thrilled about but I havent been able to pee yet... my body wont let me I have a few more hours to try before they cath me :-( surgery only took only an hour. I have to stay 2 nights so I get to leave sat morning/afternoon. I want to thank everyone for all the thoughts and prayers they worked!

Thanks guys. I am actually having surgery at the hospital I used to work at so I hope that they will just let me go about and do my own thing since I know where everything is. McButterpants Thank you so much. That is EXACTLY how I feel.... except i didnt get a free pass for dinner LOL. But everything else is the same. I really needed to hear (read) that!!

I am so nervous about my surgery tomorrow. I cannot tell you guys how amazing it has been to be able to read all your posts here on this site. It has helped me so much. I am a mom of two and all I can think of is not coming home to my kids. At the same point the life im living not being able to do much with my kids is just as damming. any positive words or experiences? thanks everybody!!!

Oh my goodness I love the thread it gives me something to look forward to and work towards! You ladies are an inspiration!!!
