YAY! I'm on the losing side!!!

Hiya everyone! I am officially on the losing side! The surgery went perfectly and I feel awesome! I am 5 days out and really can't believe how good I feel. I've had no problems! (knock on wood). I am having a lot of gas, is that normal for the first week or more? I am also taking in a lot of water but don't seem to be getting rid of it. Is that indicative of dehydration? I had so much fun meeting Jeremy B. And Shea from OH. We had the best time in the hospital together. It was nice to visit each other's room and laugh a bit together. Hope all is well with the whole gang of ya here! Looking forward to chatting next week! Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, Welcome Home and welcome to the losers bench!!!!! It sounds like you are doing wonderful. Keep up the great work!!! Remember to take care of you!!!! Pat

Hello Rebecca, Welcome Home!! You're so positive. Yes, the gas is MORE then common. You'll have it for up to a couple of weeks. Welcome to the losers side. It's ALL down hill from here baby!! WOOT WOOT! Megan

Hi Rebecca, Welcome home and God Bless! Gas is VERY common after any surgery. The best remedy:walking. The second best: Gas-x chewables or fast dissolves. It will go away eventually. Good luck to you.
