Wow not good. Did you not see your dr last week or was that someone else? For your sake i hope they do not have to open that wound up. Praying for you.

Hi ladies! I am 4 days post op. surgery was April 25th. I stayed two days. I feel so much pressure from gas pains ans having a terrible time trying to pass it. I took the gas x strips ' date=' I guess they are working , but still feel extreme pressure. I hope to share my journey with pre & post opers. Where is everyone from?[/quote']

I used the chewable tablets--people say they work better than the strips. I'm from Austin, TX :)

I was having a horrible time with the gas. I was doing the gas x strips too.... Here's my advise: THROW THEM OUT!!! Get the chewable ones and take 2 at a time 3-4 times a day. I cannot tell you how much it has made a difference!! Oh and walk, walk, walk.

Today is one week and I am down 10 lbs... Not including the 7 gained from surgery. I am feeling great. No problems than I hate sleeping. I wake up with the worst back pain. I have a ton of energy and am able to pretty much be back to normal life activity outside major exercising. I can definitely get up and go no problem. I am even back to work today.
