So glad to hear your mom is doing good. I would think that the pain she is experiencing is gas pressure.A heating pad could help. Also get her to walk some. Walking helps get the air/gas moving on up and out.Also GasX is great. I think I used 2 boxes the first few days after surgery... it was a life saver!!!!

Yahoo for your mom!!!

Jamie is right - most likely gas. And walking is the best medicine. When she feel that pain (most of the time its in the shoulder) just have her get up and take a little walk. Gas X is also good and using a heating pad in the painful area helps as well.

Hope she has a wonderful recovery! Keep us posted on her progess! God bless.

I agree, those gas pains can be bad at first! Walking just did wonders for me, the more I moved around the better they got!

Glad to hear you are doing okay. Rest up, and as any banster will tell you, sip, sip and sip some more.
