LAVILA, to HysterSisters!
Gas is commonly pumped in for laparoscopic procedures, like what I had; your description indicates that you're having a TVH, where that doesn't apply. However, intestinal gas is a common post-op issue; to get it out, take regular walks, have some peppermint tea, and try fennel seeds, either eaten straight or steeped in hot water for a delicious tea. As for your recovery, don't listen to your co-worker; your surgeon is the one who will be managing your recovery, and he's the one you should be listening to. Just follow his instructions, and listen to your body, and you should be okay! Best wishes for a successful surgery and a smooth recovery!
