@Sister Thanks so much for your love & support. I am at home now but probably should have stayed the extra night in hospital. I guess they figure you can relax & heal...& sleep better in your own home provided you don't have any infection or fever. I have slightly improved everyday & my breathing is better so the gas must be dissipating. I know you & most others have endured more than me but I guess this op was just a precaution & the severe gas pain is something i wasn't aware of so it caught me by surprise. It is so lovely to have the support of this forum & the advice & help I have got from my forum friends, is worth more than seeing a professional. love & hugs to you xxxx
