February 5th....I'm so excited. .

GM Feb Surgery Crew-- I found chamomile tea to be a calming agent for the gas. I'm more of a coffee drinker, but my wife made me a cup of tea with a Splenda when I started experiencing gas pains in my left shoulder (first time since surgery)...surprisingly I was relieved within 5 minutes or so. I'm not sure if it made a huge difference, but our brand of choice was Mighty Leaf Chamomile Citrus Herbal Tea. I thought it was worth sharing. We will try peppermint tea at some point today.

My surgery is Feb 15 and I would love to join.

How are you feeling?? I had my bypass yesterday at 3:30. Tummy doesn't hurt and liquids go down easy. But the gas pain in my shoulders is terrible. Do you have any gas pains???

My surgery is RNY with two days in hospital and I had to 2 week liquid diet.

Good luck to the both of you. And a painless & speedy recovery. I had my bypass Saturday and I feel pretty good. The gas pains come and go but all and all not to bad.
