Hi there!

Ok, what kind of pain meds are you on? at a minimum you should be on liquid tylenol.

Have you been told about the gas pains from all the air they pump into your abdominal cavity in order to do the procedure? That gas stays in our bodies and has to be worked out through time and walking.

Gas-X strips help some folks with this.

Walk, walk, walk.

Also, those hunger pains could very easily be acid. What Acid reducers do they have you on, if any?

Have you spoken to your surgeon?

The pain eases over the next few days. If the gas pains is what you are speaking about.

Hang in there, it gets better!!!

Happens to all of us. You'll be fine. Take tylenol, and get up and walk every single hour. You HAVE to walk the gas pain off. Make sure you're hydrated, do sugar free popsicles, broth or Protein Jello. All of those things will help. The pain goes away.
