Sandygal got a reaction from BabySpoons in Pain after surgery?
I also had a hernia repaired this seems to be where my pain is coming from I’m now 6 days post op going strong I have taken a few of the pain meds but trying not to take much cause I don’t want to be dependent on them so I take Tylenol in between I was thinking of trying a muscle relaxer as well cause my back, shoulders and stomach muscles ache

My surgery was 8/14 for a sleeve and the pain was very different then any of my other surgery’s for sure lol I’m still aching and in pain as we speak I also had to get a hernia repair oh and that gas thing I wish they didn’t do it at all my shoulders and back aches it’s very uncomfortable but the hernia repair and guess I’m assuming that’s why so much pain but omg.. God luck everyone you got this and the reward will be well worth it for us all 🙏🏾💪🏾

I had a pretty good amount of pain week 1 but then I was in surgery for 4 hours for RNY and a large hernia repair. The pulling sensation was the worst at my right incision site mainly when I transitioned from lying to sitting or sitting to standing. Even at week 2.
I sipped on my liquid Oxy that first week and when I ran out I called the pharmacy for a refill week 2. I was told I needed a doc to do that so called him and was told by his nurse they don't normally refill that medication. I was like OK, I'll survive.
I guess I didn't realize from the labeling (Hydrocod Acetaminophen) what I was asking for till I googled it. Oxy. I felt bad then for asking for more. After that, I never used anything else for pain. In fact I still have a tad bit of that liquid oxy left over if ever needed in the future.
I'm guessing if I hadn't had the hernia repair I wouldn't have needed it at all. Like a superwoman
