Just make sure you are passing gas or having a bm. I was the same way and ended up having an emergency appendectomy. Anything can happen I suppose!

Congrats on your surgery..Sounds like your in discomfort and from what I read it's pretty normal....I'm researching to see is there anything I can do before my surgery to prevent the gas pains. It sounds like it hurts...but, overtime it subsides. I hope you get some relief soon. Hang in there!

I'm in Day 5 and by day 3 all of my Gaia pains vanished!! Hoping they don't come anytime soon. I'm sure as I eat more food I will have gas. If your haven't already buy some Gas-X strips. They work wonder and start working very quickly. Walking can be hard so early but it's super helpful!
