Is that gas killing you yet??

When I got home after surgery I stood in the bathroom mirror for about 20 minutes saying to myself "What did I do" My shoulder and back were killing me fro the gas. They kept telling me to walk ...but even hurt to walk!

Thank you all I had the surgeon in the state it was so quick I didn't even think I got banded. lol but the gas x works really well and take a inflammatory and some like prevacid too slow form gastric juices and u will be fine. The funny thing is u work up and asked when was I going to surgery and they said you where in recovery I almost feel out the bed.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
