ok the gas???
"movement", like walking helps dissipate the surgical gas. Even with walking, it will likely take a 4-5 days to about 2 weeks to get over the gas feeling. Most recent post ops have surgical gas pain, and not typical gas due to liquid intake only. DAVE

Consider the source - to do your surgery, they blew you up like a balloon. With only tiny incisions, it's next to impossible to get the air out before stitching you up, so it's just gotta work out. You have to move to break it loose from the pockets it's stuck in.

the movement helped me dislodge alot of my gas.. even though it was uncomfortable at times, it was way better than the gas pains.. and for some reason i have a magic button on my lower back, that whenever my husband massaged it, presto! he learned his lesson and started giving those massages from the side instead of behind me ... i also dont have much problem with belching after drinking the broth either.. i dont care how it gets out as long as it does
