I can not laugh at all it hurts so bad where my muscles are. If I do end up laughing it turns into crying from all the pain. Anyone else had or have this issue. How long does it take not to hurt when laughing or straining abdominal muscles?

Hang in there! I'm 5 days post op and can finally get a semi decent laugh in without doubling over or losing my breath. Last night turned into family fun night -- and with a family as crazy as mine, I felt like my stomach was going to explode. Laughing is almost unavoidable, especially since you usually laugh twice as hard if you're trying not to laugh at all. Pleasure pains!! They'll go away soon. Until then you could hang around some boring people :)

Side note ... The hangover is on tv right now And I'm going to have to change the channel to avoid the pain haha
