I'm home.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Yeah, the gas was probably my biggest complaint post-op as well, and I think it was close to 10 days before I found I felt "normal" again (hush, Elena...).
Walking helps most. Gas-ex (chewables are better than the dissolving strips), laying on your left side, the attractive position you described - these will all help, but time will be your best friend.
And just a thought... if you DO decide to go walking somewhere like Target, be sure to make plenty of laps through the candle aisle. Just sayin...

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Welcome to the Losers Bench Anna!!! I hope you're blessed with a smooth recovery. Just keep in mind, I'm right on the 3rd floor if you need help once you get back to work!
Coffee is at West St Paul, take care!!!
