Praise the Lord!!! I made it through!!!

Had my surgery on 3.18.09!!   It's been a little rough because I'm hard headed and I have to learn shyt the hard way but I made it!!

Gas-x...ain't helping
Protonin (sp?)...maybe it's working
Loritab...takes the edge off a little
Loritab + sleeping pills....ahhhh I'm feeling pretty good on the way to sleep

WHY DID MY HUSBAND HAVE TO GET THE DANG FLU RIGHT NOW?!  

I'm hurting, he's sweating, coughing, aching, sleeping ALL day long...man that ain't right!

Any ideas on how to get rid of this terrible gas shooting up my shoulder and through my back? 

Hi LaTanya,
congratulations and welcome to the losers bench. As painful as this sounds, the best way to get rid of the gas is to walk. Once it moves you will feel so much better. Hang in there, each day gets better.

Thank you Sleevie!  I've been walking and you're right, it does help.

Congratulations on making to "the bench!".... the absolute best thing in the world for my gas was
1. A heating pad (may sound strange, but that heating pad will move that gas right on out of your body... just put it on your back or your stomach.... you'll see!)

2. Walking, was 2nd best because you can walk that gas right on down.... walk and pass it, walk and pass it.....

I don't know of any drug that worked better than the aforementioned.... take care and best wishes on a speedy recovery and all the weight loss you desire.... -S

Girl Yes!  My heating pad has been helping me at night.  I was sweating all night but I was pain free when I finally got sleepy.  Of course I turned it off then. 

I used to have this same pain in my back before but I thought it was because I slept with my tight panties on. LOL!!

Congratulations LaTanya
I hope you heal quickly and don't have any problems.

Girl me too!  I think I had a dumping episode (don't ask ) but I didn't throw up - I had to make myself throw up.  Did I say I was hard headed?

Congratulations to ya!!!!
