Day 3 Post Op still in Hospital ...

The gas pain is oh so real. When I came to I felt like I had surgery on my back instead of my stomach. Pain meds alleviated that but when they said you would get gas pains, they weren't lying. I'm laying here staring at the ceiling wishing to pass gas. Aside from a few burps (welcomed I may add) it's all the relief I have had as of yet. But in being treated well and kept as comfortable as possible. Being a veteran (unfortunately) to surgeries I must say this has been one of the toughest. I know in the long run it will pay off. Walking does help. So get to walking as soon as you can. But lord I can't wait for all this air to be out of me

Walking was what helped me the most with the pressure. Most of the time I was walking with out permission. whoopsy... haha helped so much though

That's great, I walked that night. Already on my way home. I needed the two nights, the gas pains yesterday was unbearable but thank God it's much better and the "gas" process has commenced lol ????
