How long before I can laugh with out pain. I am always laughing so now I am always in pain. :-(

Hi nade - Thats a great question that I would love to know the answer to. I am 5 days post op and whenever friends and family come over to visit - I have to beg them to not make me laugh too! The laughing is killing me. Its almost as bad as the coughing.

I know they say no crunches but never mentioned laughing or coughing.....

Lol that's funny! Im 4 days post and i had to stop watching I love lucy! Cause it hurt soo bad...

I'm always laughing my stomach HURTS do bad

I don't remember laughing causing me pain in the early days.

Aren't you lucky to have a life filled with laughter, even with a bit of pain. Hope you can enjoy a good old belly laugh really soon.

laughing causes your stomach to move like coughing does .. hence u feel it hurts... if u need to cough i suggest u hold a pillow over your stomach and bend forward, this will stop your stomach moving and will reduce the pain. Pain on any movement from coughing sneezing, laughing is common after any abdominal surgery, even keyhole like the lapband, so give your self a chance to heal along with your muscles and all will be ok

I would like to thank those of you who tried to help me with my laughing pain. I am 6 days post op and it like 80%better. Only time it give me pain now is if I am walking and laughing. At that point I buckle over and hold my stomache. But this surgery did not steal my joy I am still laughing and carrying on as normal.
