Al-Anon anyone?

Hey Debbie & Cheri....I did it!! I am a Bandster!!. All went well. Except for the gas thing, I feel pretty darn good. I try to move around about every 2 to 3 hours for about a half an hour. Nothing major, a little paperwork at the desk, fold some clothes, make a shake. No pain meds since the surgery. Haven't needed them. I am learning not to over do. I want to go, go, go. But I can't. And I know enough to understand what my body is telling me.

I have the gas med in chewable form. Don't really know if it is doing any good. Something is better than nothing right now.

My thanks to both of you for your concern. I take great comfort in knowing you are there.

Way to go, SweetPetunia! Congratulations and welcome to band land!

Sounds like you're doing all the right things and I hope you'll be back to normal in no time, and well on the way on this exciting new journey!

Sweet Petunia, congratulations. Moving around is the best thing for the gas so you're doing the right thing. I felt like I took farting and burping to new heights after my surgery. My new motto was Feel Free to fart Frequently.

DEBBIE: My best to you on your big day. Your are one step closer to a new you!! :thumbup:

From my experience, it really has been a cakewalk. Certainly nothing to worry about. I have had colds that were worse!

My thoughts and prayers are with you today.
