Well today was op day for me in sunderland, and i feel loads better after sleeping off anastetic. Little bit of niggley pains but thats just trapped wind. Been up walking about to try and shift it. Having little sips of water too.

Surgeons, doctors and nursing staff put 110% in there job. They are the most lovely, loving staff ive seen in a hospital for a long time.

Sally your in excellent hands amd have nothing to worry about. Waitin on doctors coming to see me but thats probably goin to be tomorrow now xx

I had some sharp pains in my left shoulder which I was told was wind but that was it, I did feel really sick and heaving a lot but was never sick! Hope the wind eases soon for you xx
 
woo hoo, Vicky! welcome to the losers bench,now get ready to start your new life
 
Great news- so good to hear it went well. I'm 3 days behind you, so keep us posted!
 
Thanks everyone for very supportive messages. Will keep posting my progress x

Does anyone kno how to shift post op wind? Been up nd down all night tryin to get comfy with it x
 
I hear people say just to keep moving about abd the wind will go from one end or the other! Peppermint tea is the other it just takes time
 
Yes staying mobile is the best but it is crippling you can understand why babies cry with wind/colic pains. peppermint does help. Keep turning in bed if ya can that helps too then it doesn't settle in one place. xxx well done xx

Thanks for the warning!! I'll bring in some fruit, did you not get any food? I'll be starving haha! X
 
No coz they only allow u the food off the diet u were on. So if youve been on diet 1 of milk, yogurts, fruit and soup. You can either have fruit or soup so i had 2 pieces of fruit with a yogurt. 2 other girls had soup but thats all they had x
