Two days post op......

I'm now home and the doctors say I'm doing well, but I'm in so much pain!!! I'm so bloated and the gas will not pass!! I've been getting up and walking 12 laps around the living room/kitchen, but I feel so bad. Of course I'm asking myself "What have you done"........I also have this lidocane Oncue ball i'm wearing that should be taken out tomorrow or Friday. I'm having lower back pain as well. Please tell me it'll get better soon???

Hi Natalie, you are on your way and yes it gets better. Moving really helps alot. What about a rocking chair to get the gas moving? Keep in touch with your doctor. Are you able to get in your nurishment? The gas is terrible but once it starts moving it will get better. Just hang in there. But don't be afraid to call your doctor if its too much. Jane

Hi Natalie.............hun it does get better!!!!! I no all to well about that pain and the gas is the worst, please was as much as you can it will help greatly,just take it easy and get on your fluids and you will do fine.....................vickie

Hey Natalie, Everyone is right, it does get better. Keep up and walking as much as possible. Have you tried taking some GasX? I did right after surgery and it helped me a lot! Good luck to you and welcome to the losers side! Dee
