  1. Let me know what your dr says. The gas-x doesn't do anything for me honestly. I just read about sipping on warm ginger tea. I also remember when I had my c-sections they gave me warm prune juice. Gross...but worked!
  2. I'm one week post op today. This just started happening to me yesterday. I never had any gas after surgery, so this baffles me. Last night I took gas-x and slept with a heating pad. Woke up this morning fine, but by 1:00 I felt it happening again. I did go back to work on Day 4 post op, so maybe I'm overdoing it. Other than that, I feel great!

  3. @Wannabeskinnie I was in the exact same frame of mind yesterday. I too am scheduled for Friday and have almost the exact same BMI as you. I woke up yesterday and was going to cancel...thankfully after having being 'talked off the ledge' by my friend who also wants to have it done and my dad, I am now 100% in. I am self-pay which makes it even more nerve-racking! I go for pre-op at the hospital today. We will both be fine and so glad we did this once it's all said and done! Good luck to you!
  4. I am the day after you...March 13th! I literally feel like throwing up right now, because I have to pay for part of it today (I'm self-pay...yuck!) I just keep questioning if this is the right thing to do. I know I will feel so much better, but I'm so scared of failing and wasting a lot of money! Have you started your pre-op diet yet?
  5. I am March 13th too! So excited but also so scared! Go for pre-op meeting tomorrow. Just keep wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Also, I am self-pay like you and I feel guilty spending this money on myself. Glad to find someone with my date!
