Anyone else with back pain? I'm sore from the cuts and gas pain but that it nothing compared to this unexplained lower back pain. Any idea? I'm on pain meds and using heating pad which helps a little bit. Thanks.

Congrats!! Back pain would be caused by the gas and by the manipulation of your stomach during the surgery. Walk as much as you can to metabolize the gas. How was your experience with SSAH?

I used some Gas-x stripes for the gas pain they work pretty good ....but i think it will take a few days until all the soreness is gone afterall they did go in there and worked on our insides ....it will get better keep your head up

Great expierence! Just really surprised by back pain. I actually feel better standing. Have some sharp pain things under my collarbone that I'm assuming is gas. Sipping food and water fine, half popsicle was pure heaven.

Walk, walk, and walk some more!! Did I mention you should walk a LOT!!!!!
