Thanks for Following my blog! I am now...Hi Lena!! Thanks for Following my blog! I am now Following you too!!<br /><br />Hey, you were Banded the day after my 55th Birthday!! "Welcome to the Sisterhood/Brotherhood of the Bandster's"!! You are doing great, just hang in there!<br /><br />As for the gas, I am also glad to report that I never had that side effect from the Surgery. However, I didn't even try to hold it in! The Nurses probably hated to come into my room, as I too had to stay overnight!<br /><br />I too have always been of one mind that you didn't pass gas in front of others, but my DH, Walt told me that I shouldn't hold it in and be in pain (he has NEVER held it in), and after the first accidental slip, I got more and more used to it. <br /><br />So now, I never worry about it in front of him. But in front of others, of course, I try not to embarrass myself!! LOL <br /><br />However, after I had read how everyone complained of the horrible Gas Pains after Surgery, I didn't try to hold it in, unless a Nurse was actually in the room with me!!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992977491095091038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890615069648298404.post-68325037344129024532010-08-23T18:55:01.748-05:002010-08-23T18:55:01.748-05:00Hi, Lena. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog....Hi, Lena. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Now I'm following you. Unfortunately I don't have any great advice about the gas. I had a little and the heating pad really helped me.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00603681230277050772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890615069648298404.post-47843971913577967442010-08-23T17:18:53.594-05:002010-08-23T17:18:53.594-05:00I have no advice as this is one negative that I wa...I have no advice as this is one negative that I was lucky enough to avoid.Cindylewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540643788281963704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890615069648298404.post-68837769642317355012010-08-22T17:37:01.614-05:002010-08-22T17:37:01.614-05:00Gas X strips and lemon wedges helped me =)Gas X strips and lemon wedges helped me =)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17698344618368294860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890615069648298404.post-21878220438175491002010-08-22T17:36:12.075-05:002010-08-22T17:36:12.075-05:00This too shall pass! :) Hang in there.This too shall pass! :) Hang in there.CeeJayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08108144896669458008noreply@blogger.com
