Hurts so bad to move or sit up. Ugh. Had surgery at about 730 this morning. My whole right side of my stomach kills. ( hope its better in the morning.

Were you guys in lots of pain the day of surgery?

I would say yes, but i slept through most of that day and I was heavily medicated while I was awake so I don't really know... It stands to reason I was though...

Yes!!!! I was out of it for 2 days....my best friend told me I called on the Lord 2x's, asking him to take the pain away. I didn't want to be bothered!!!

I had complications so stayed 4 days in the hospital.... Which was good...1 week almost down...I actually didn't want to leave lol

It will get better...my surgery was 4/30 and I remember having regrets cuz the pain & gas was so bad but that was the morphine talking.

2 weeks later no regrets

YES I hurt to. They do alot of work in little holes. Just think how bad it hurts when you cut your finger. Your tender stomach was cut on. The pain may come and go also.

I had tons of pain.....I made sure to tell the nurses and doc. be your own advocate....tell them you need more. they will give it to you. they had me hooked up to morphine...which only helped for a few minutes so I told them I needed more and they ended up giving me another med to go with it which was a dream. you heal the best when you are not tensing with pain....plus you are more willing to get up and move around when you are not in pain (which also promotes healing) so they are happy to help you. good luck....it does get better though....PROMISE!!!

Everyday gets a lil better ....good luck ????

I was very lucky.. had my op at 8.30am last thurs 10th may.. by 2pm i was up walking around going to the bathroom on my own ect.. but prob because of the pain meds lol,, day 2 they removed iv and only gave me panadol, was a little uncomfortable with gas, but again walked to go for my leak test,, was going nuts because i thought i should have been in so much more pain and asked if they were giving me something more than panadol for pain.. they wernt.. wanted to go home that night but doc wasnt around to release me so had to wait til sat morning.. 8.30am sat morn doc came no more gas pain , he realeased me and i drove myself home,, spent sat / sun resting then felt good enough to do some work (i am a self employed hairdresser) i did have staff to cover me just in case,, so only did a select few customers that are not high demand,,,,however i also know when to rest up so definatly am not over doing it..also wounds a little itchy from healing, , but all in all i feel great,,, thank the lord .. I think everyone has different pain levels too but from what i understand and from friends that have had same surgery it can be really painful.. remember also you have just been sliced and diced and its still early after your op...i hope you start to feel better soon.. sending hugs and prayers that the pain will be gone very soon xxx
