So I'm 1 month away from the big day aka my surgery!

Just curious if anyone had some really good tips post op to help with pain reduction! I've heard using gas ex strips, an band around my stomach, anything else I really should know? Any and all help is thanked!!

Some ppl are different post op with pain.. I know some who had no pain.. me.. I had horrible pain

I'm one week out and I've had horrible gas and back pain. My surgeon offered me a abdominal brace which helps when I'm out walking but when I'm at home and I'm resting or sleeping, I use a pillow kinda as a brace. My nurse who has had GB said it's good to have to brace your self if you sneeze or need to sit up and it becomes like a security blanket. I hope you don't have any pain!!!
