Day 3 Post Op...I have a few questions...

[inarakatra 51]

I would say that I'm doing pretty well. I do have a few questions.

1) When does your body stop producing so much gas in your belly? I wake up after sleeping for a few hours and my stomach is full of gas which is the primary reason behind any pain that I’m feeling.

2) The only pain that I feel that isn’t from the gas is on my left side. How long does it take to go away?

I know that everyone is different so what may be a quick heal time for one person may not be for another. I just wanted some feedback. I also wanted to say that if anyone uses Baylor Regional in Plano, they have the best staff. I felt at home. I've been in several hospitals and had some pretty rude nurses, but Baylor Regional in Plano Texas didn't have a single rude nurse. One nurse had the surgery and told me to make sure to wear the strap that goes around your stomach because it will keep the pain down. She was right. It's been a life saver for me. Another nurse felt like a long lost friend. She was so nice.

The gas went away around day 5 for me. I am now on day 8 and feel just fine.
