I got home this afternoon about 3:00. The gas has been the worse so far. I'm pretty sore and feel like I've been run over by a truck. Glad to be on the other side...

Lorrie, I'm so glad to hear that you are home and made it through surgery! For me the only thing that helped my gas pains was to walk, never far, just often. Good luck in the coming days! Joanne

Lorrie, Congrats on your surgery and making it home. Being home is a big deal when you have been away. I had the gas pains when I was in the hospital and they told me to walk, walk, and walk. Also if you move your shoulders around that will also help. It will be painful for a while but, then it usually goes away. I didn't have the gas pains once I got home so I was luck on that end. Good Luck.... Just walk.... Ronda

Congrats! The gas can be a bummer. Just walk. If you get tired sit down. I did laps around my living room when I got home. Take care of yourself. Have a great new year. Corinn

Lorrie- I completely agree with the others...WALK WALK WALK I did laps in the house too! I didn't sleep very well for the first few nights at home. As much as it hurt, I had to walk around. Never be so excited to pass gas! After doing laps at 3am I'd go to the bathroom and pray to the fart gods lol Then I could go back to sleep for a couple more hours. Congrats to you for going to the other side. You'll do well and Happy New Year to you
