My shoulder is killing me and the pain meds make me nauseous. The overall pain has subsided a little since yesterday, but feeling extremely week and have no appetite at all. Forcing myself to drink. This surgery was much more painful than gall bladder surgery. I am hoping I start to feel better soon. I think I got most of the gas out.

I know!, but time will heal you. I felt a lot of pain for about 9 days. gas pain is horrid. Hope you feel better soon.

totally normal. just keep sipping water and gatorade so you dont get dehydrated. day 4-5 was the turning point for me!

the shoulder pain/gas pain is what got me, but lots of walking helped!!!!

I'm 4 days post op and gas has gotten better after I started using gas x strips...try those. And lost of walking!!

2 days post op and I was able to get my first protein shake down. Burping a lot, gonna have to get some Gas-X. Pain around the midsection not to tragic, just feels like someone punched me real hard.
