Yes I'm leaving in a few hours. I've got a ton of gas trapped in my stomach and it hurts like crazy. The doctors don't seem very concerned about it. They said it will work its self out with time.

So happy to hear!!! I hope everything will be great for you!!! I think the gas came from surgery, sometimes the surgeons blow up the stomach with air to see everything more clearly, hopefully everything will come out soon.

PLEASE PLEASE take it easy!!! I did not take it easy after takedown surgery and my stitches came out and soap/water got in there from the shower and my wound got infected and it was open! I had to go back to the hospital for bowel rest and IV antibiotics. My wound had to heal from the inside out and my scar is very deep and sunken in, even to this day though not as much. Take it easy changing positions!!! Stay in bed and do not shower for a while, if you need to shower, cover it up really well!!! I did not shower after a while after that incident lol. Maybe a sponge bath might be better for you, but I did not even do that lol, I was like, " I AM NOT GOING BACK TO THE HOSPITAL" LOL. Keep everything away from there though!!!!
