hi Tasha.....I hope you get this. Did you move??? Where are you????Sounds like you were able to get into a program.....cool. Glad to hear that you were able to get on THE LIST for surgery....awesome!!!! I deleted you from my group page since I thought that you had moved...c.an I re add you???? The gas is different for each person, mine only lasted a few days but others go a week or two. Hope everything else is going well....always:)Deanna

Hey Tasha! Great to hear from you and to hear that the surgery went well. What did you decide to have and who was your surgeon?
As for the gas, mine lasted around 7 days after surgery, maybe even less.
There are a couple of us that are almost 3 months along now, so feel free to ask questions if you are unsure about anything.

The gas was the worest thing about the surgery for me! I found that just moving around helped it lessen. It really took me a good 10 days to really "forget" about the gas. I was pretty uncofortable and unhappy for that many days. But all of a sudden its gone and you forget it was a problem unitl someone asks. Hang in there with the eating and drinking. My experience waqs similar to yours and I spent all my time sipping to get it in. When I started drinking the Premier drinks from Cost co I could finally get everything in. That was at about 2 weeks. I still have to really watch the water. Deb
