Ok it's been two days and wow it's not as easy as everyone said!"" gas sucks just farted for the first time and boy did that feel good! Can't get my blood pressure down.

Lol Wild that was so funny! I hope things get better for you!

LOL that is FUNNY! It's just a little GAS and it will PASS but it's a cute little FART isn't it?!?!?! LOL

I go next Tuesday. Hope you feel better soon

My first few days were no picnic either. But, the good news is that it really does get better each day. You should be turning the corner any day now!

I wouldn't have used the word "uncomfortable" for the first few days. The word was "hurt." Not everybody flies through the recovery or doesn't need the pain meds. I used them solidly for the first 3 days and then every time I got in a car because the bumps HURT!

Some sage advice I have often heard here applies for at least the first two weeks:

NEVER TRUST A FART!

I had my surgery November 17th, and I agree. It was a lot worse than I ever expected. I had so much pain for a little over a week. I feel great now, all except I have NO energy what so ever, just a simple shower and get ready weears me out. I here this happens, and hopefully soon I will get some energy back. Good Luck...

I didn't come up with that warning. I read it on here - a couple days too late for me, unfortunately!

For the gas and farts, my surgeon prescribed "Powdered Nexium." You mix it with a Tablespoon of Water and drink it down, it tastes orangey. Helps a LOT.

Good luck with the pain! Call your doctor and ask for PAIN KILLERS.
