What I'm wondering is all this gas we get postop that must come out while we walk, are we strolling down the hospital halls tooting away? And what about roommates - are we just letting those farts rip loud and clear? I guess if I have a choice between pain or letting it out, I'm all for sounding like Farty Franny.

Lolol this made me giggle! I didn't really have that kind of gas until day3-4. My gas was mostly lodged in my chest and shoulder.

OMG You should change your name to FFranny on here Joni.. you crack me up!

I don't remember being uncontrollably gassy. I DO remember feeling bloated.

Let's just say not great experiences while I was on flagile but I had that for pneumonia and a leak. Yuck I WILL be "allergic" to flagile forevermore!

My gas took a day or two to start coming out. I was in the bathroom & had a private room. When it started, I didn't think it was going to stop. I laughed so hard & it just kept coming out. But boy did I feel better when I was done. Let it out when it needs too! Walking does help....

I believe the gas that most people are talking about in the beginning is the kind trapped in the chest and shoulders. Moving around helps to dislodge it. I can't speak about the "tootie" kind of gas, I never had that. And as far as room mates, I don't think they do that any more. HIPPA and all you know. I know they don't here anyway. They won't even allow two children from the same family to room together because of privacy laws. Crazy but true.

Lol Mine didnt start until id been home a few days and so when I had some friends and family come over, the first thing I told them is be prepared to hear me toot. After 3 days of being bloated beyond belief when those toots started coming I didn't care who was around---I was getting that air out of me as soon as I could!!

Let it out or your tummy will be sore. No modesty! Lol

I did more burping than farting, truthfully. I have heard that you should never trust that a fart will be "only" a fart, so keep that in mind.
