Surgery went well thanks for the support. One question though how long does the pressure last in the upper belly it is terrible.

Start walking the more you walk the faster it goes away. I know I wanted to slap everyone who told me to walk but it works

Agreed try to walk as much as possible, it helps to relieve some of that pressure. You'll be feeling better soon. Congrats on the surgery! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

The gas defiantly goes away with walking and believe it or not it even helped with my pain.

Walking and infant gas drops

The gas pressure was awful for me too. It lasts several hours. I had one pocket right under my rib cage and the next day in my side. Walking - yes! I also found changing position helped alot too. I must have used 10 pillows to support my moving around . Gas pains stopped by day 3 - relatively short span of time though painful . Hang in there... It gets better."

Glad you had surgery I know you wanted to back out but I'm glad you did it you won't be sorry

See I'm passing gas no problem my issue is I can't get out of bed since I sleep on the left side of bed I feel great and as soon as I have to get up OMG. The muscle on my left hurts so much. I had surgery on June 30 so I how thing will. Get better

But like they all said. Walk walk walk

It is getting better walking makes everything looser. Burping a little but no air from below. Wayer is going down well and only a little discomfort from theat . I have been drinking 1oz every 15 minutes have walked about 5 times so far the entire floor both wings of the floor im on. Feelin better allready. Im so glad i went through with it im happy allready knowing this is better for me and my family.

Really glad the surgery went well.

It took me a couple of days to fart LOL. Burping was no problem. The gas they blow u up with is in your abdomen not ur digestive tract so it dissapates as u move around it doesn't come out of you orifices
