Hello all,

I am 3 days post op. I am pretty sore. I am very bloated. I hope it goes away soon. I feel like someone is stabbing me when I move and I cant find a comfortable position to sleep in. Any advice would be awesome.

THanks!

I am 8 days postop. The bloating goes away pretty soon, I am not bloated now and haven't been for a few days now. Do you have any pain meds to take before bed? Could you get some liquid Tylenol? My incisions also hurt a bit at night, it helped that I sleep mostly on my back but if I turned on my side it hurt too much to stay there very long. Now, I can sleep on my right side just fine and my left if I put a pillow there as a prop.

Do not worry, this part goes away pretty fast. Keep hydrated and you will be feeling better very soon.

Hi, I'm one day post op. I'm doing ad well as I expected. I've jus been propped up on my back aot and a 1/2 hour ago roll to the right side instead of the drain plug side.

The stabbing pain will go away. The first 3 days are the worst. I am 19 days post op and feel about 95% back to normal. I slept proped up in a chair the first few nights, then propped up in my bed until I had the drain removed. If your doctor uses the drain, the stabbing pain will go away once it's out. You have stiitches on the inside and out and thats the pulling you feel. Ice REALLY REALLY helps. Good Luck!! My goal was to feel 50% better than the day before and so far that has been true!!
