I am about 17 days post op today. When I woke up I think I will rate my pain at a 7. That was the worst it ever was though. Let me tell you - that morphine pain pump is a miracle! Once they hooked me up, within about an hour I was feeling better and better. I got out of surgery around 7pm and once up to my room at 11pm, I was feeling much much better.

I got better each day after that, although I was sore in my incision sites. I could have gone back to work on Monday, and my surgery was on a Thursday.

I also had little to no gas pain, thankfully.

I never experienced any pain whatsoever.

my pain right after surgery was maybe a 5. i think i was more sore than anything. I also had my surgery at a surgery center. 3 hours after surgery i had to get into a van ( still hooked up to my IV) and was driven to the hospital. it was a twenty minute drive. I finally asked for pain meds around 10pm that nite just so i could fall asleep!

I am 5 weeks post op. First day was around a 7 when pain meds started wearing off. Next few days maybe a 5 or so. It tapered slowly - but it's very easy to irritate your left side by stretching the wrong way or moving too fast - at least it was for me, and believe me I would try my best not to hurt it! Nowadays my side around my incision hurts once in a while, but it's more like a 3. Not too bad!

Whats weird is every person I've read has had their tummy taken out on the left, mine was taken out on the right!

Never experienced any pain whatsoever. Never took pain meds. Sorry to hear that so many experience it.

I had a rough start and lots of pain since I was also a revision. and can't say I felt any better till after two weeks, then everything changed for the better. Best of luck on your recovery you will feel better soon

Maybe it's whatever dominant hand the surgeon is?
