I'm 5 1/2 days post op. I'm still having a lot of pain in my upper abdominal area...right under my chee chee's. About how much longer will this last? Sitting and bending over are the worst!

The gas pain is gone, hallelujah!

Actually I was thinking it could still be gas. I thought I was over mine after the first few days but when I asked about a pain I kept having even a week later they told that was gas too. It will get better... good luck! Also could be just from them moving around in there and stretching things, bugging things etc. It does get better I promise.

Is it on your port side?

Is it on your port side?

The port area is swollen, but it's all the upper area from both sides. Just under the port, north.

Well I've never heard of a chee chee before! I assume that is another word for breasts?

I had a lot of discomfort on my port side and it was very uncomfortable for me to sit. It actually took me about 4 weeks for it to subside. In my case, sitting made it worse as it felt like my organs were jabbing into my ribs. My doctor told me it was because I was still swollen. It has since gone away.

I am about the same number of says post op as you. I do still have pain but the pain and the gas have gotten better. I called yesterday and got some anti nausea meds because my tummy was so irritated and jumbly....is that a word Probably not. When I called they said the pain was normal and could still be gas but most likely from all the internal swelling. They said I would likely turn a corner in the next day or two. I did feel better last night.
