Home from Hospital!

Hi everyone, Yes, I made it! Well although right now; I feel as if an eighteen wheeler ran over me. I have very little energy, and the gas pain are awful. But I am looking forward! They were able to do it laproscopically; but the air in there is enough to drive me crazy! Wish I could let a huge fart right now. LOL How long does it take before you feel as if you are getting back on you feet? And when do the gas pains go away? Thanks for all your prayers I know they helped! Thanks for this place and good friends. Bless you all. Take care. One minute at a time for me.. Hugs, Judy R

Judy you will get rid of the gas alot faster if you walk as much as you can. You have to get the gas moving. Good Luck!!!

Glad to hear you are home and doing well ! Congrats to making it to the losers bench.... can't wait to join you there ! ! ! ~~Rona

So glad to hear you are home and all went well.... My gas pain went away when they removed the drain... But from what I hear... walk, walk walk and that will help move things around.... You will feel better as each day passes... Best of luck to you for a speedy recovery... Shawn M.

Judy, Welcome to the losers bench. I had mine done open so I'm not sure how to rid the gas pains.....other than ask KP to pull your finger. He might. Stacey W Welcome!!

Congrats and just walk- it helps move the gas along... Shannon

Congratulations to the newest loser!!! Yes, everyone is right....walking is the best medicine for gas. I was really feeling pretty good about the 4th day out....gas was pretty much gone by then (for me). I was really surprised how fast I recovered from this surgery. Just keep sipping and walking around your living room....you will be fine in no time! Again, congratulations newbie! Theresa

It will get better with time. Take it easy and try to walk and sip as much as possible. It should only be a few days til you're feeling better, but the energy comes back gradually. Welcome to the losers bench! Hugs Linda

CONGRATS ON MAKING IT TO THE LOSERS BENCH!!!!! KEEP WALKING AND THE GAS SHOULD BE GONE IN ANOTHER DAY OR SO. CONGRATS AGAIN!! HUGS JUDY
