Congrats, I'm glad things are going well post-op. Take it easy and get up and walk as soon as you can and as much as you can. You might not feel like walking, but it will ease any gas pains and help prevent any blood clots in you legs.

So good to hear from you 80% sounds real hopeful. Keep us in the loop and good luck.

Take Care. I'll be checking on you! ;-) Blessings~

Walking relieves the gas! You cannot walk too much or too soon. Walk around your room at least. I walked many laps in the hospital within an hr of returning from post op and did it several times a day. I was fine by discharge 2 days later. The other patients who stayed in bed were still in pain from gas, at discharge. Congrats! You did it and are on your way. Each day is easier than the day before.

Walking definitely helps. I have had no gas pain.
