SillyAuntDi 1,610 Posted September 13, 2013 I had my surgery on Wednesday. I feel like it went well. I had some more intense discomfort last night when the gassy feeling decided to make itself the center of my attention. So, GasX and a heating pad became my best friends. I've about worn out the carpet in my house! I did make it outside today to walk a little. Good luck in your recovery! 1 Cherry31 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its not as painful as I thought it would be. This is actually very light to the last surgery that I had 2 yrs ago. I have been getting around fine and haven't had any pain meds today. I actually got outside for a few today along with driving. My Doctor told me the best way to deal with the gas is by moving around so I do feel the difference when I'm not moving around. Hope you have a speedy recovery as well. 1 SillyAuntDi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ladybandito 516 Posted September 14, 2013 Also know that if you feel left shoulder pain for a while, that is normal too. Remembering back, I think the shoulder pain was the most discomfort I had, and it lasted a week or two (twinges here and there). Congrats! 1 Cherry31 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
