My port sight is hurting really bad. My chest feels like somebody punched me. Uugggggghhhh!!!! He had to repair a hernia in my stomach & I don't even have a taste for ANY food, not even clear. Is this common?

Yes, almost everybody experiences the same thing! My advice is never let your pain meds wear out, use a heating pad and most importantly WALK! Give yourself some time to heal and stay hydrated. I'm 2 weeks out and I'm perfectly normal now with zero pain. Best to you!

Walk, walk, walk and you will start blowing Busters to get that gas out!!

I had surgery on Monday and they had to repair a hernia I did not know I had either. I still have quite of bit of pain in my chest and across my shoulders. I try to walk every hour. But it is so uncomfortable. Swallowing is difficult also. Just hang in there.

Sure will. I will probably start on my tread mill tomorrow. Something has to give with this gas pain. Thanks

Hi, ladies. It will get better. Walking and moving about is the best thing that you can do for yourself right now. Just keep the faith.
