No gas :(

 Well I am still in the hospital and it looks like they are keeping me an xtra day because I am not passing gas.  Still in of pain so walking is hard. 

Sorry to hear that Trudy. I am sure you are anxious to get home. Once that gas comes out you will feel like a million bucks! Your room will stink, but that will pass...ha,ha.

I have been thinking of you the last few days. Hope everything gets better soon.

walking will help you pass gas, which will decrease the pain. Try to do it, Trudy....

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time Trudy but boy can I relate.

Hobble around as much as you can because that will help. As much as it's the last thing that I wanted to do, it didn't hurt much more than just lying there and it got things moving.

Something one of the nurse's mentioned while I was aching my way up and down the hall really helped. She said she suffered gastric issued for years and laying in the fetal position on her left side always got things moving.

It hurt like hell but it really got the gas flowing; almost instantly. For me every squeeker was followed by a big sigh of relief.

Good luck and I'll say a prayer that you come out the other side  sooner rather than later.

C'mon Trudy you can do it!!!

FART! FART! FART!

they should have a fart smiley.... they have a puking one.

Awe sorry to hear that Trudy.  Hope you can pass some gas soon so you can get feeling better and get home. 

I was in the same boat. I was kept a little longer. I had a roomie for three days who was cool and I felt comfortable with her. Then they sent in another girl who had not had surgery yet, and I had the curtains drawn and I felt the gas coming! omg it was the longest loudest fart ever! The two ladies beside me started laughing, I don't think they could help themselves.
 It felt so good I couldnt have cared who the heck was in the room!!!
Good luck!!!

I'm six days out and I had the same problem.  I didn't even feel the gas badly untill I got home.  Still feeling it!  When I was able to get up and walk it did start.

Just TOOT, TOOT, TOOT, all the way home!  You can do it.
