Thats why you need to keep walking - it'll move the air around, and you'll toot it out eventually. Its just trapped air

Hey, Richyrich---you calling me a sissy?  LOL...my name is Miss Kitty! I told ya you would feel like you've got a watermelon in there! Dr. Callery even tapped my belly just like it was a melon! I felt so fat after surgery! Not anymore though...I think I'm 25 lbs down now and I'm 5 weeks out tomorrow. Yippee!! Good luck to you and your ripe belly---It's ripe to be a loser now!!
