I'm back & have a ? about gas..

Hello. I am back to work after having my surgery 2 weeks ago. I wish I could say that everything went well but I ended up having a leak and having to have another surgery the next day. The past 2 weeks have been really hard and every day I woke up and asked why did I do this? But I am starting to see the light now. I wanted to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I haven't had any problems with the eating or drinking but I have had terrible pains from the gas. I have been walking and taking Gas X. Does anyone have any other suggestions on what to try? If I didn't have this pain I think I would be feeling great! Many Thanks! Bonnie

Hi Bonnie, I am so happy that all is finally going well for you. I didn't have the lap surgery but have heard that a heating pad at the site of the gas pain helps a lot. Or a hot shower hitting that spot. Take care and have some fun. You deserve it. If you need anything, yell. Hugs, Debra =^..^=

that gas takes a little while to work itself out... great job on walking !

Hi Bonnie, I was wondering how you are doing. How was going back to work? barbara
