Day 2 home from hospital

I had my surgery on monday, and was able to go home tuesday. I may have rushed it a little bit wanting to get home because i had to go back to emerg today to see the surgeon. My gas pain has been unbelievable. I have been up every hour in the night trying to fart, i have never wanted to fart more in my life! Anyway i know that i will continue to get better, it's just hard in the short term.

Sorry to hear about the gas - I hope they gave you something to help with the pain

Hey Willow glad you are home and it all went well.  are you able to walk around much?  that helpped me eith the gas.  Im 9 days post op now and I feel great.  still trying to find room for all the protein and fluids that they say we have to have but its coming.  I hope you have something for the pain.  it does go way eventually.  mine has and I'm going to the bathroom finally.  well dont for get to rest.  Walk and sip thats the ticket.  take care :-)  Val

I have been walking, and i am feeling better. Finally passing gas and having BM's, makes me feel so much better!!!

My original surgery in 2009 left me with excruciating gas pain.  It was caught up in my neck and shoulders, so was kept a 4th day, in hospital.  What finally helped, besides walking, was GasX strips. Melt one on your tongue.

good luck with the toots :)

Congrats on your surgery!! 

I hope the gas gets better soon! I have not had my surgery but I have had laparoscopic surgery twice now.. I know I had a lot of gas and pain.. I used a ho****er bottle at times and laid on my side. I know the gas may not be the same but I thought I would let you know what helped for me for another surgery!

aww you poor thing. I am sorry you are going through this but for what it is worth- I PROMISE it goes get better!! 

Stay laying down, get lots of rest, lots of water. And you will be good soon.

XOXOXOXO
