Thank you so much for your kind words. I was at work when that called and just felt like I had been sucker punched. I cried so hard I had to temporarily excuse myself. It was very heart breaking but I do understand this go happen and they happen for a reason. I sure don't want a surgeon with his mind somewhere other than on what he's doing. I'm ok this morning, just a set back. Thanks again, I wish you all the best and I love the support in this forum.

How is everyone that has already had surgery doing with the new routine? How long do the gas pains last, just trying to get an idea 5 days to go till mine!

@@CHLOE12 I personally am doing better each day. My gas pains lasted about 3 days with the worst of it being centered in my left shoulder. I am still gassy so to say but it is not really uncomfortable. My advice to you is don't go into your surgery expecting to feel any particular symtom. Each person is different . I had read and watched so much that I had braced myself for some terrible things that never happened. Some people literally sail thru this surgery so easily. I was not quite one of those but it honestly has not been the ordeal I had created in my mind. If you have any questions, just ask!

@@edie091371 Thanks for the quick response, your right I think I'm nervous from all I've read. Thanks for putting me a little more at ease!

@@CHLOE12 I'm 2 days out and I have gas in my stomach and goes up to my chest...never down. I think I would prefer it if it did. Although I have found that that either walking or standing with both arms above my head helps clear it out. Now I actually get some fluids down without feeling nauseous.

@CHLOEE12 Edie is right. Everyone is different. I had a fairly easy recovery. Came home day two and didn't really use pain meds once I got home. I did have gas pain in the hospital a little but not horrible. It was all basically gone by day three. Good luck!!
