Yay! That's great! My surgery was at the civic too! I'm sure you've heard it a million times, but try to walk as much as you can! It's the surest way to get pain relief from the gas.

Congratulations Kyena. Civic is wondeful, the sfaff, the program and the App support with Seamless MD. Oh and the air beds.... OMG I want one at home.

Enjoy your stay and as advised, walk the corridors. I managed to figure out the big loop by going through the double doors at each end of the hallway. And learn where all the ice/water.dispensers are. Lol

Congratulations; I'm so happy for you!

Like the others said, sip, walk, toot, repeat. Gas pain is not fun and walking helps get it out.

So glad you had a good experience.
