Congrats! I had my surgery Monday and came home yesterday. My left side is killing me too! I talked to one of my doctors and he said that's where they go in with the stapler so most people complain about that incision the most. I can't seem to get rid of this gas either!

I have six incisions how many do you have? The surgeon told me I'd have 5 so i guess i got a bonus! But i swear I can barely feel the other ones but the big on on the left side is a doozie!

The left side is where almost all the MAJOR work was done inside your abdomin. I to had severe pain and bruising after my surgery. Now, 5 weeks later I feel nothing! It will go away just give it time! Good luck!!

I was going to say the same thing. Walk even if your dragging your feet. You might feel better laying down but the gas will just sit there. If your up and about eventually it will come out. Good luck.

A friend just told me the same thing about the left side pains. I am not looking forward to the gas/shoulder pain at all. I have had 2 belly surgeries and despite moving and walking, still had to deal with that. Glad everything is well! Congrats!

Yes GAS Will be a problem- WALKING is the key to getting rid of it and of course get yourself some chewable gas-x! Lol
