I had my surgery yesterday 5/13/13. It was such a process for me because im so anemic that i had to have a blood transfusion before i could have the surgery.

The gas is horrible. It hurts more than the surgical wounds. But, i had my first Protein shake today and it helped.

Gas x strips?

I haven't had my surgery yet, but I hear they're all the rage!

are you super sore? In Pain??

Congratulations. Good that you had some protein.

The gas is way worse than I expected. Stomach spasms too. No full lip quids for me until Thur. They sent me home this afternoon. Just not sure how I feel about that. Would be getting better break thru pain meds.

Tomorrow will be better. I'm sure.

Yes it does get better.... gas x strips are high on list of necessities.... they really work. Walk as much as possible that helps as well... best wishes to you both!

Congrats and feel better

The pain of the incisions are is not too bad. Its hard to find a comfy position to sleep in though.

Thanks for the advice ladies!!

So I am confused how gas x strips can help gas that is not in your stomach. Isn't the gas used to inflate your abdominal cavity? Maybe I am being dumb, but can someone please explain!!
