I had surgery on Tuesday and came home a few hours ago. WOOT!

Everything went great. My only issue was nausea that happened anytime I sat up or stood. I've got that under control with meds and feeling pretty good. My only complaint right now is gas. It never moved into my shoulders, it is under my chest. I've been walking since surgery and I feel like I walked far. Any other tips besides walking to help move it? I would rather have it in my shoulders.

Congratulations! Glad to hear everything went so well. Have you tried Gas-x strips or dissolvable tablets?

No, I haven't tried the strips. I have them so I will give that a shot. THANK YOU.

Try the Gas tabs on empty stomach when you wake up. Congrats on your surgery. All the best

Congrats!!!

That gas is a real pain...I was up in the middle of the night walking for the first few days home because it was so awful...I second the GasX strips...I used 2 at a time. Good luck!
