Not to be gross here, but can anyone tell me how long it takes to get rid of all that air they pump into your belly? Man, that is driving me crazy - I look like I'm 6 months pregnant!

It actually went pretty well. The pain wasn't too intense, it's been less each day. The swelling sucks, but the rewards will be worth it! My boyfriend went with me, and stayed with me all weekend to "babysit" me - what a sweetheart!

Go get some Gas-ex or any other thing that relieves gas. The nurse told me about this. and said, take a few right when you get home. I took two, then two more a few hours later. I never had any bloating or pain.


GAS-EX....I'll swear by it. :)

Yeah, I've been taking those like crazy. It is going down, but very slowly. I'm trying to make sure that I don't eat anything crazy (ie Taco Bell) and eat higher fiber foods.
