Just had mine on Thursday (1/14). I have to be honest, the pain was not as bad as I thought it would be (not painless, mind you, just not OMG I’m going to die pain). My gall bladder removal hurt way worse than this. I had lost close to 70 pounds on my own prior to surgery so I don’t know if that helped with the recovery (I was doing a minimum 3 mile a day exercise walk). My advise is get up and start walking as soon as you can after surgery. I was up and walking by maybe 4 pm (got to my room maybe around 11 am). I also really believe the surgical binder has been a big help.
That was one of my biggest concerns as a stomach sleeper. I had my surgery on Jan 14 and spent two nights in the hospital. Honestly, sleeping on my back in the hospital wasn’t as bad as them coming in to check vitals at 2 am or draw blood at 4:15 am. I was back sleeping on my stomach after 6 days. Really wasn’t uncomfortable. I’ve been sleeping soooo much better since then.
Crick got a reaction from Coley15 in January 2021 anyone?
