Tomorrow will be a week,and am still sore on my left side,because,of it i could not sleep well last night,woke up with a headache,when will the soreness go away.sorry for the typos,really bad day today.

Did you have your 1 week appointment with your surgeon?

I am 1 week out and I am still sore-I think the incision are tighening up and that's a good thing. I also have a couple of stiched that didn't 'fall out'" so he said if they don't he will take them out in 2 weeks. Pain relivers should help with the soreness and an ice pack. I also find that if I sit upright too long it hurts. Now if those are gas pains you're having you'll have to plan to go outside and take a short walk a few times a day.

You'll feel better soon-really, you will!

Dr. has not called me to make an appt.As far as the gas pains go,i can deal with them.Now i just had the runs bad,i think everything i drank today,i just lost it all.The pain, im having is similar,if you have ever had bronchitis,you cough so much that your rib cage hurts,even just to clear my throat.I hope tomorrow is a better day.I have to go see my Regular Dr. tomorrow,for my monthly meds,im going to ask him to listen to my lungs and see if they are clear.

Your lungs get a little "tired" with the rest of you when you have surgery and are put to sleep. I had this as well and had a cough for a day and the next day I was fine. Try deep breathing (I know it hurts but trust me it will get better!) Take really deep breaths and do it 10-15x every hour to strengthen them. That's a good idea to have the dr listen to your lungs to make sure you're not getting sick from it, but it is likely that you just need to do some deep breathing exercises.
