I had my takedown on Tuesday and was released to come home on Friday. Alot less pain then I had imagined at first. Gass pain is bad!!! I was able to get out of bed (on my own) and walk on Tuesday afternoon. Muscle spasms at incison site started on Thursday and were bad but they got them under control with meds. Walk, Walk, Walk is the plan for today.

Hi and welcome home
 The gas gets better...I found probiotics helped a lot, as did psyllium (Metamucil). "Today I'm 51 % sweetheart and 49 % dragon*. So don't push it. (*Percentages subject to change without notice.)" |
