The ramblings of g1powermac

So it has been over 24 hours after I had my gallbladder removed via laparoscopic surgery, and I’ve had one really weird symptom even though it’s normal.  When doing laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon fills your abdomen with carbon dioxide so they can see inside using the inserted camera.  Once the surgeon is done, he lets the CO2 out but some still remains.  This creates one really weird feeling after the surgery.  When I move around, I feel bubbles of gas moving around inside of me.  And depending where they lodge, they can cause some pretty bad pain.  Fortunately, the bubbles should dissolve into the blood stream within a few days.
