Hi, my name is Wendy. My date is Feb 26th. I'll kep you guys posted. Thanks to you two feb banded guys for sharing what sounds like your pain. For those of you who suffered from painful gas afterwards is there anything you could have done to get around that?? My Dr is Blackstone and so far I feel she's gunna be fabulous.

The best bet is to take your pain meds, get some gas-ex strips (I loved the cinnamon, but the mint is okay too)

and just walk, walk, and walk some more. A heating pad around just in case might be good. Just keep a very positive attitude and you will fly right trough the surgery. Gas pain for a lot of people is unavoidable. That is the nature of Co2 in the body cavity. You will be a very happy person when you can belch like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds....

Be excited, be proud, your journey is about to begin
