seppi 0 Posted July 12, 2005 I never thought the gas would be so bad. Everything went well, I was home before noon. I am a little uncomfortable but nothing like yesterday. I wanted to cry, some of the gas is passing, any suggestions to help get rid of it? I have been walking a llittle at a time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mita 2 Posted July 12, 2005 Walk a lot if at a possible the gas should pass. Might take a little while though, Good you are home and on the road to recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

giveyouthemoon 4 Posted July 12, 2005 Congrats!!! The gas WILL pass, I promise. It's a terrible feeling those first few days but it gets MUCH better. Hang in there. Walk. Sip. Rest. Stay ahead of the pain, don't let it get too bad before you take meds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted July 12, 2005 Welcome to bandland! The more you walk the better it is. If you get shoulder pain, use a heating pad. It will get better each day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted July 12, 2005 Glad you arehome and resting... Walking is the best medicine to get that gas moving and out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seppi 0 Posted July 12, 2005 The gas is getting better. I cannot understand how this could take so long, thankfully I don't have the shoulder pain I heard described (yet anyway) The pain meds kind of make the gas pains bearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the best me 6 Posted July 12, 2005 The pain meds kind of make the gas pains bearable. Oh Yeah!!! Use those pain meds, but get off them as quick as you can, they can cause Constipation and if you get nauseus taking them, stop! Everyday gets a little bit better. Take it slow, listen to your body, don't push it just because you think it ought to be better than it is, based on the "norm". Take it easy, walk, rest, and walk some more. Heating pad. Sip sip sip till ya can't sip no mo'. Welcome to bandland!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
