New to the group. mom of 5 step mom of 2 ranging from 21 - 2.. Post op 8 days... Here is my blog for the rest of my journey and for my stats/ introductions http://watchmeeshrink.blogspot.com/

im feeling very overwhelmed. I came home with the JP drain and it comes out Thursday, but I feel like something is wrong inside. I've always listened to my body, but the docs keep telling me all is "normal" I dont know what normal is anymore. the site of JP tube seems to be bulging. its draining as normal, but the the right side of my tummy seems to be more bloated.

Is this really normal.

I am 8 days post op also. I had some funky bloating too. It is normal. I didn't have the drain tho. Your body is in the healing process, things are going to be funky for awhile! Your normal!

I think it is great that you can listen to your body like that...I think you should keep questioning and staying in tune...but maybe (prayerfully) it is just your body saying what did you do with the other 7/8 of my stomach???

Keep us posted!
