I didn't run...I did it!

I had my surgery yesterday. Just to give you a short overview. My surgery was scheduled at 10:30am, I arrived at the surgery center at 9:00am. I was quickly taken to the back and undressed and had an IV put in. I guess I was really nervous because I had to go the the bathroom about 5 times within an 1 hour period. So 10:30 came and went, I was advised that my doctor was running late and would be there about 12pm. So I just laid there the staff was really nice I was only allowed 1 vistor but they let my mother and sister come back and sit with me. I started to make a run for it when my IV came out but I didn't. The last thing I remember was laughing with my mother and sister as they were taken me back at 12:30pm. I have to say that my stomach doesn't really hurt but the gas is unbearable, I've never flet anything like this before. Good news is that I feel alot better today than yesterday. I've been up walking and holding a pillow seems to help me. Just wanted to share my experiece with everyone. :thumbdown:

Congratulations!! :thumbdown:

I'm still preband but from everything I've read on here, the key to getting rid of the gas is walk, walk, walk! You'll be feeling better before you know it! :thumbup:

Good for you! Congratulations!!! Yes, moving around will move the gas. That was my hardest part. It took me about 8 days to get rid of it all and feel "normal." I don't regret it for a second though. Best of luck to you!:Yawn:
