Thank you one and all for your kindness....I am in soo much gas pain...feel like I need a Lamaz coach! I am living on pain killers for now...hope this goes away soon and become a distant memory.....

BIG HUGS!!! Best of luck!!!

I'm getting mine tomorrow too! I am very excited. Not as nervous as I thought I would be.

WOW, ok..the surgery hurt a bunch...but even now, 2 days later I am feeling much better. Those gas pains are...well, not to be described! I found in my case, walking made it worse and flat on the bed better...also taking Bentyl helped a lot. I have had broth, water, tea and jello....no issues. Port site hurts the most and I am bloated and swollen...but seems to be going down. Went up 5 lbs, but that should be all IV fluids...peeing like a horse lol. Do ot stop taking your pain killers! Take them like clockwork to prevent the pain from building...easier to manage that way.
