So you have to keep moving as difficult as that may be. That's what's going to release the gas. You can try a heating pad on your abdomen to help ease things along. Walk walk walk. Try some warm drinks - tea.

I was referred the second weekend of November. I still have not received a letter or a phone call from the hospital I was referred to (originally TWH, but switched to HRRH two days later due to location).
Should I be calling to follow up at this point or be patient and wait it out?
When I switched over, the nurse I spoke to at TWH said if I don't hear from HRRH in 3 weeks, to call... but I'm still trying to be patient (even though it's really hard!)

Thanks VioletFemme, Good Luck to you too. Where are you having surgery?
Keep walking. Are you home or still in the hospital?

I also had to see the Pharmacist and go over all my meds. I had bring them and we went through them all and I was told what I could bring and what to leave at home on surgery day. I was also told what I could have that morning.
