Well there's no turning back now... I'm in so much pain. Mostly gas pains but thats no joke! And my ribs so tight and achy. I feel like I can't Move my upper body in my own. I had hoped I'd get some sleep in tonight but I'm waking up every 45 minutes. How long did these gas pains last for you guys?

I was only in the hospital one night and released the following afternoon.

Yeah I had my surgery around 1:00, woke up about 3:00 and was discharged the following day around 1:00.

Best thing going to do is get up and walk walk walk as best you can

On day three post op I was getting gas by taking just a tiny sip of Water, while I could burp, it was of little relief because it was constant, I took Gas X with little relief. I took the advise of someone to lye on my side, left for me, bent my knees as close to my chest and put a warm heating pad on my lower abdomen and I started passing gas within 5 minutes. Day 4 was exponential better with less gas, I am to sip more regularly now still with some gas. I'm starting Probiotics today to see if these helps.

Gas X will be ur lifesaver on this journey. Im 3 days post op n started my gas x n stool softener tda. Finally passed gas below and pooped day 3... thats when i turned the corner and my 40% of my pain instantly ended. Youll be ok. Im so thankful for this forum. Reading the blogs has helped so much.

I should start taking milk of magnesia... the nurse recommended for constipation. I don't feel like I need to but tomorrow will be 1 week since

What else is good for getting it going?
