An important thing to note. You will probably have 2 or 3 stitches in your belly button (that is normally where they go through). Make sure you clean the area properly. Mine ended up infected and made a more visable scar (still very small, but the infection was painful).

Did the valium help??Originally Posted by LDG
If Gary can make it for endoscopy, I'm sure you can get to the hospital too!!!!!!!! Might try his trick - talk to your doctor. He gave him a scrip for one valium to take the morning of the hospital appointment.
Sending calming vibes - along with "legs take her there" prayers!
Maybe pick up some peroxcide or Polysporin to apply to it daily. Recovering from the infection was my worst part of the experience!Originally Posted by kittylover4ever

Not that kind of gas...Originally Posted by kittylover4ever

It's more like air they use to blow up your belly to get a look at what they want to see. The air seeps through your body and can be a little painful.
When I had my tubaligation they did that and the air seeped into my left shoulder and it hurt. But I think tylenol is what they told me to take for it.
It's been over 21 yrs. so I can't really remember, you can ask them what you can take for it. Not saying it is definitely going to happen, but if it does you will want relief.
Otherwise, GOOD LUCK!!

The valium should help, that's what it's for.
Some other drugs cannot be taken before any type of surgery
(like blood thinning drugs)
I never had any infection problems with the incision in my belly button or the second one a few inches lower.

Yup - the gas seaps out over a few days. Also ask for a pain prescription (or advice on over the counter medications) before you go in and have it waiting for you when you get home. Frankly, I had heard such bad things about the gas, but didn't feel a thing after mine (I was medicated).Originally Posted by pjk5900
