Just came home today from having my surgery
I'm glad to hear things went well with your surgery on the 15th. I had mine on the 13th and the bloating/gas was horrible. It started to subside on Friday, but what I found has been working for me is to sleep on my sides at night. It seems to help relieve the pressure in my mid-section. I'm not bloated too much anymore, but I do get a "full" feeling in my mid-section towards the end of the day, but I think that could be from all the protein.
I haven't tried any over the counter medications, but I have heard the disolvable gas-x strips work wonders.
We're finally on the losers bench.........best of luck to you! :)
