I forgot to include this in my post -- I was so excited!
I was so nervous about the appointment, I deliberately didn't eat anything beforehand, and took an Equalactin and a Gas-X (I was passing gas like crazy!). Sitting in his office, we were going over my meds and my chart, and boy did I ever have to fart! I squeezed my legs, grinded my teeth, and the blood raised up to my face ..... oooh, it was tough ..... I couldn't go to the bathroom, not in the middle of his "schtick" -- and then he told me the good news.
And guess what? I totally forgot about the gas pains! Totally! They completely left me. I was fine! In fact, I was jumping up and down! It wasn't until I got back out to the car and pulled out my keys that it dawned on me: hey, what happened to the gas!?
