HELLO - I'm still here - feeling a little fragile, but for the most part, not as bad as I thought it would be. The gas pain in my shoulder is MUCH more than my stomach. I've tried Maalox, heating pad, and massager, but nothing seems to work. Today is my 4th day after surgery and I've already lost 7 pounds. I'm sure it's all water weight, but I don't care, I havn't seen the scale go down in a really long time. Thank you all for your stories and support. If it weren't for that I'd probably have chickend out.
