I just had mine on Wed, June 3rd. I too was excited and nervous. My best advice post op is to walk, walk, walk. Do everything you can to work the gas out of your system, which will reduce your pain. It took from Wednesday to Saturday but I am finally able to pass gas and burp, that is helping also. I wish you nothing but the best and if I can share any of my experience with you that may be helpful, please let me know.
