I am on my way can someone help me

Charlotte, They told me to walk a lot to get rid of the gas,they also told me to take Gas-X dissolvable chews.I took as many of those as the box stated I could take.It seems like right after I finished one, I felt some relief.It might've been a coincidence.My friend also told me to lie on my left side and rock and that would help.Heck, I would have tried anything.I was also extremely nervous, I had never had surgery before this.It's like before you have a baby, you are scared (of the unknown)...but then afterward, it was no big deal.You'll see. Patty

Patty, How are you doing? My surgery is Thurs. Are you glad you did it? Theresa

Theresa, Yes, I am so glad that I did it! I am 3 weeks post op now and feel completely normal (like I never had surgery).You'll do great!Good Luck tommorrow.I hope you get the great nurse (April) that I had, she was super sweet! Keep me updated once you are back on the computer. Patty

I am very sore they do give you something for pain if you like. I had to take a upper GI this morning. And everything was all good. So now I am drinking like an 1oz every half and hour. I go backto see Dr Meyer not this tues but the next tues. Well how are you doing? I lost a total of 18 pounds before the surgury. So good luck keep in touch, charlotte
