  1. Hi, I am 4 weeks + 1 day and my discomfort and pain on my left side while sitting finally stopped on this past weekend. I couldn't drive, couldn't sit at my desk for more than a few minutes without having to standup. Also would have to gave up my seat on public transit after 10 minutes because of the pain. Had to cancel work meetings because I knew there was no way I could sit for long. I was worried and knew it wasn't normal and was to make an appointment with surgeon to discuss. Thank goodness it's gone now and I feel so much better because of this. I even postponed my first fill by 2 weeks because of this, I thought there was no way I was adding any more stress to my body until this sorts it self. Hope it passes for you too. Mary
  2. Hi, I am three weeks out and I too am suffering from Gas. It did stop five days after surgery but it started up again with a vengence last week. Gas-X wasn't cutting it so I called the nutritionist and she recommended Bio-K which is a super charged drink to balance out the good and bad bacteria in the intestines due to drastic changes in diet. She wanted me on it for two weeks. I only bought five drinks, not two weeks worth, and did get relief after two days. I ran out of drinks, went to get more and the health food store was closed. I forgot to pick them up yesterday and today my gas is back. I am sitting at work and I am so uncomfortable. I am not sure if the Bio-K works or not, could be a coincidence, but I am going to pick some more up today. M.
