We're Home!!!!

Hiya everyone.. We got home late this afternoon from the hospital. Everything went completely smooth for Bob and he is a little sore and tired but able to keep his liquids down and is walking. I on the other hand had surgery go very smoothly for me also. I am having an issue with the excess gas in my chest, stomach, and left shoulder since i got into the recovery room and they started waking me. This is really irratatiing! Neither of us have pain from the incisions. Anyone have any helpful tips to get rid of the gas.... any and all tips are really appreciated. I am taking mylanta chewables... and walking.. what else can i do????????

Yippi, Yippi, Yippi your home and doing well, Im sooooo happy for you both....I never had the gas thank god, but people have said Gas x works very well, I had it in the house just in case....Please keep us posted and again, Im soo happy for you ....

Hi guys! Good to hear all is well, you were in my thoughts and prayers on your surgery date! Hope you feel better I have no words of wisdom in the gas department...hope all 'comes' out well!

Hey! Did you guys stay two nights in the hospital? Hope your gas is better today. I never had any either, just body aches before leaving the hospital and for 2 days afterwards. Hope you are sipping slowly, lol!

hey there... we stayed two nights.. the gas was and still is stuck in my chest area.... so Dr. JB wanted me to stay to keep an eye on me! Hes so good. The gas is getting better TG... its worse than child labor!!!!! i am sipping slowly and enjoying it.... hugggs.. keep in touch

congrats to the both of you glad you both made it home ok take care roberta and yes -- child birth is harder!!

Welcome home! I'm so happy for you both. The only thing that helped with gas for me was to keep walking. I have a condo but I kept walking the length of it over and over and that was the only thing that helped me. Donna C.

Congratulations, and welcome home! I agree with Donna, I walked my butt off as much as I could, it seemed to help to get rid of some of that gas. Just remember, every day gets better and better, and easier and easier from this point on! Best, John
