 I've maybe slept 3 hours (but I did manage to stay off the computer LOL)
These gas pains are EVIL... E V I L I tell ya!!!!! Heating pad doesn't even work... I know TMI... but it WONT go away!!!  I will be calling the Dr's office this morning... cause this is just TOO long.  

Hell I'm one to not take the pain meds and I've almost finished my bottle =(  
I'm disappointed in myself cause of this but what can I do?

Gas-X strips helped my daughter out a lot after her recent C-section.... and of course walking, but that's always easier said than done early on.... sorry you're in such pain....

Honey, it hasn't been that long.  I hated the pain meds too but took them for about a week because I NEEDED them.

Don't be disappointed.  I know for me I expected it to be easier more like my RNY and plastics which I breezed through compared to the hyster.

I'll recommend a site someone told me about www.hystersisters.com.  There is some good info there.

Sandi,

I can sure relate on that gas pain when I had my gallbladder out. I wish I could give you advice but you are doing the best thing by taking the pain meds.  That's what they are for so I say, use them.

take care.

Hope you get to feeling better...........like I said -  we are getting older and as my surgeon says -  I just don't bounce back very fast anymore.

  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Thanks ya'll... I'm doing just that... walking as much as possible.. not just sitting unless I have to. (hence the reason I think I overdid it.)  Called the Dr this morning... waiting for him to get in (he's in surgery assisting this morning) so it'll be a bit later before he calls back.  

The strips would be nice but... ummm my car keys were hijacked LOL and the store is too far for my kid to walk to LMAO  Derek has placed them firmly with his keys and he's in OK. LOL  (guess he thought I might try to drive... ok he was right!!!)

Karen & Phyllis... see above on the strips & tea lol
Dana, I'm looking at the link... thanks!
Becky... I'm taking the meds but I'm already almost out =( ughhhh
Phyllis... I am not getting older... just my Dr is! lol

Hey girl:  Don't forget the hormone problem.  Your body has to take some time to adjust.

Could explain lower pain tolerance etc.  Take your meds and keep the faith.

 Thanks Que... we are going to test the hormones after a month... 
He only took the uterus.  So there should be no need to take hormones on the good side!

On a good note... the pain is starting to subside!  Just a little bit of gas left in my shoulder.
