Just wondering how long should I expect the muscular pain and soreness/tightness from the surgery to last? How long did it take you to feel "normal"?

Thanks!

It took me a little under four weeks. Everything seemed to go back as it was- not as exhausted, no abdominal pain, increased stamina to work through the day and exercise.

I felt a lot better on day 6, and fairly normal after two weeks. I am almost 7 weeks now, and just starting to feel less fatigued.

Hope you recover super fast!

I am day 12 post op and have very little abdominal pain unless I pick up something heavier than I am supposed to. Mainly this is my fat cat and I always seem to forget he is twice the weight my doc said was okay to pick up. lol. I haven't taken any pain meds in days. I find deep breathing and stretching made it a little sore at first, but really helped it go away quickly.

About 2 weeks to feel normal except eating and drinking. I finally felt normal at 2-3 months out.

I will say I was feeling better in 7-8 days . My surgery really went great not alot of pain at all.

_{I felt great at 7 days out, wanted to go back to work but they wouldnt let me.}

I no longer felt sore in my stomach about one week post-op. Hope you feel better soon!

I was bike riding by day 8. But I would have to say I had periodic moments of discomfort depending on the day and my activities. My belly went through a week straight of ITCHING as my incisions were healing!!! I'm 4 weeks out now and have next to no pain.

I went back to work a week later and felt great my dr read surprised that I am not tired I did not have much pain or gas very lucky it went so smooth. I started mushie foods and have not had any problems so far but I have only tried 3 things

really for me just a couple days - after that the only time I would feel sore was sitting up from laying down - and that just felt like I did too many sit ups. I had probably the easiest recovery of any surgery ever for anyone on the planet though I think. I kept waiting for something to go wrong, it was really that easy. I'm 3 months out and ZERO issues. Hope you have the same result!
