TurnThePage 220 Posted December 12, 2013 Congrats~ Glad you are doing okay. Walk as much as you can; it will help the soreness by reducing the gas in your mid-section. If you need pain medication, take it, as pain can actually slow healing. Wishing you all the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby Smith 20 Posted December 12, 2013 I got a pain button and I can dose every 6 min. As of now it just hurts below my rib cage and back. I am in disbelief that I finally got it, I am so happy I feel like crying but that would hurt to much lol 1 Leah_Marie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinny_minnie_wannabe 30 Posted December 13, 2013 Oh btw, if you are having gas pain, I heard that gas-x melting strips are awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby Smith 20 Posted December 13, 2013 Yes Chrissy I am full of gas. It hurts so bad. I took some gas x but maybe I need the strips. Thank you for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cecy30 3 Posted December 14, 2013 Hi Bobby, i hope you are doing well. I also had my surgery on Tuesday at around 8:30am.

Keep up the good work!...best wishes for your recovery! 1 Leah_Marie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
