I had GB surgery in 1990. Got out of recovery about 9 that night and was out of the bed at 4am going to the bathroom. The nurses told me I couldn't get up and that I had to use a bed pan. I said no I ain't! (it was that pride thing) Help me up or get out of my way....so they helped me up and I went to the bathroom. I think it pissed them off! When the doctor came in about 9 am he told me that he heard I've been out of the bed and he was amazed but that was good. He asked me how I was feeling and I told him fine except I had quiet a bit of gas on my stomach....he winked and said we'll take care of that. I didn't know what he meant at the time. About 20 minutes later they came in with an enema. From then on anytime I had gas in a hospital I kept my mouth shut!!!!! I feel like the nurses got even with me for giving them a hard time. :lol:
