Aloha sleevers,

For all of you who are ahead of me. I heard the worse pain is getting rid of the gas pain. Any tips or remedies you want to share on how to get rid of it besides walking...Do share anything else that might be beneficial for my 1st couple days...So nervous and excited...

Don't let them put you in the hospital bed when you get moved from recovery into your hospital room. Instead, have them put you somewhere you are sitting and can more easily get up and down. A rocker or glider is ideal if there is one in your room. If not, go for the visitor's chair or loveseat. You will be more likely to get up and move if you aren't struggling in and out of bed. Also, when you are sitting, cross your arms over your abdomen and rock back and forth, pressing against your abdomen with your arms as you rock forward. This helps get the gas out. Again, it's ideal if you have a rocker or glider to do this in, but you can use a chair or sofa if you have to.

You should only be in bed when you need to nap/sleep.
