The gas pains you all talk about where are they located. I belch more then the other way. But have weird pains in my back right in the center between shoulder blades. Sometimes under the blades. Could they be gas pains or something else?

I burped way more than I farted.. I actually wanted to have a big ol fart to clear everything out. Keep walking, it will clear out soon.

Thanks for the update.....rest and rehydrate!

Yea not sure if it's gas pains I hope so. It's all my upper back area really. Tomorrow I will attempt a shower and try to do more walking. Of course in my sub conscience I think I am having heart pains. But know I am not. Lisa hope you get to feeling better

I had an exciting day! I finally got to meet one of our own (RNY talk) at the dr's office today during our nutrition class. She messaged me awhile ago and we actually had surgery the same day at the same hospital' date=' too! It felt amazing! We visited afterward and had so much to talk about. It was especially nice to be able to talk to someone openly about this whole journey and what you experience whether it be good or bad. So cool![/quote']

That was me. I was super excited to finally meet my new friend for life. It was awesome to finally meet after talking with her since November. Wished I could have sat and chatted longer but we exchanged numbers and live close so not worried about losing touch! Cheers to a new life long friend<3

I have gas!! Ha!...No seriously! I can feel it traveling in my abdomen and I stair at my belly waiting to see the baby kick..lol...That's totally what it feels like, even when it gets up into your ribs! The weather has been so cold and rainey I can't even really get out to walk!

Old hippie, that's exactly where my gas pains were, between my shoulder blades and eventually in my left shoulder and neck. Your heart is fine, Dr Roller had you in telemetry overnight to make sure of it.

I thght I was having heart issues too! Lol you'd think they'd figure out some way to get the gas out. I could also here my tummy/ pouch (can't own that word yet) making all kinds of noises. I still get this feeling like I can't swallow/ breathe for a second, but I burp and I'm usually good. Gas x strips saved me!

First day back at work and everything was chaotic with a months worth of work on my desk to do! Came home with pounding headache and this weird feeling of skin crawling. Any suggestions on what to do for that?

[OleHippieGal 275]

Jodi I told dr roller when he gets in there to see if he could find the alien in my stomach. He thought that was rather funny. Lol

I know alot of you said you were sleeping in a recliner I tried and can't. I sleep in bed with alot of pillows. And they told me in the hospital I could sleep on my sides which I do. Just not on my stomach which I don't. Sending hubs to store tomorrows more Water. Gas x. SF Jello. SF applesauce. A themometer . What else should I get?

Lotion. Some really moisturizing and neosporin. You are gonna itch as you heal. The neosporin helped the most but now that I'm 4 weeks out I use lotion all over
