Hello Laura, I am so happy to hear you are doing well. Remember the rules and you will get better fast: sip, sip, sip, walk, walk, walk, rest, rest, rest!! Best wishes, Margaret 306/268/259/150

Welcome home Laura! I'm one week post-op and have found moving around....standing up, walking, etc. is the most helpful for the gas bubbles. Also, be sure to sip slowly... Good luck and keep us posted! - DJ

Welcome home. I am glad everything went well and your now a "loser". Sorry your back is sore, I hope that goes away soon. Shannon

It only gets better....my worse pain was in the recovery room and that gas in the shoulder..that was horrid...and yes that drain is nasty as well...I did no pain meds since the afternoon of my surgery...I have to keep telling myself to slow down....

Yes, gas bubble in my shoulder area was the worst of the pain! Incredible! Doing okay with the drain though. It is removed in 2 days so I can deal with it!!! Yes, please do remind me also to slow down!! Rae
