2 weeks post-op! Woohoo - however. I was fine until about 3 days ago... The first day just felt like I maybe pulled a muscle in my abdomen. The next day & day it feels as though something is stabbing me from the inside, sometimes almost a burning sensation. Anyone else have this??? Of course it started after my 10 day Followup visit to my surgeon. :-(

Chickie..I am 3 days post op and as long as I am sitting still I dont hurt but one of my incisions is extremely sore....I am changing pain pain go away too...I will be glad to have the normal feeling back that I can get up and down without pain...Dont like taking my pain meds either...they put me to sleep. O well...I hope you start to feel better soon! It will all be worth it!

I am on post-op day 2. When I try to drink water my stomach/abdomen is extraordinarily painful, like a knife in the stomach. I haven't even tried a protein shake. I am scared to death that I will become dehydrated and be re-admitted. Help! Is this normal Any suggestions??

I was great until about 10 days than woke up with a stabbing pain under my left breast in my ribs when I breath. Called the Dr. and they said its probably nothing just par to the course. That pain went away but moved to my back. Now 20 days out and the pain is finally subsiding. If it gets worse call your Dr.

This is quite normal at about 2 to 3 weeks out it is from the healing suture lines inside of the abdominal wall. Try and not bend and twist to much.

Thanks everyone ... It definitely is reassuring to know that this pain is normal. Not going to lie - I was getting very nervous!!!

I am three weeks post opp and experienced the same sharp stabbing pains in my side and back. It woke me up in the middle of the night and the pain was worse when I took deep breaths. It happened the night I tried whey Protein for the first time. I believe it was really bad gas. Although it still feels sore now and it's been 3 days. The pain goes away all together when I work out. But as soon a I cool down... It comes back.

Has the pain gone away?

To all you ladies,

3 weeks out..... Are you back to work? Life? Ect. That is my biggest concern. I am able and willing to do surgery but I have a sales job and I travel. I am able to take 3 weeks off. Wondering if this will be enough.

Working out did I read? You go girl

Does the pain go away in about 30 seconds to a minute? If so, you might be drinking too much as a time. Try sipping and waiting, sipping and waiting.

I think 3 weeks should be just fine. I had my surgery on May 30 and am not due to return until June 27 (4 weeks). Im seriously considering going back next week, after my follow up on June 10.

Everyone's recovering is different, but I had my surgery on a Wednesday (5/22) and was back to work the next week Tuesday (5/28).

OMG...read this and went "how did she KNOW?!" I'm feeling the exact same way. Emailed my Dr. and he said it was my internal cuts in the muscles healing. He said unless there was fever & other things involved, no worries...just part of the recovery. Glad to know I'm in good company folks! :-)

Not kidding - EXACTLY a month after my surgery to the day, my pain went away! It was miserable. I went back to work after 2 weeks after surgery and was ok for the most part other than being uncomfortable from the pain. I am working out now & back to my normal chaotic & busy life. And I'm loving it! It definitely gets easier - hang in there!!!!

I'm 6 weeks out now, btw

My friend and i both had surg on the same day. She went back to work 5 days post op, me on the other hand took about 3 wks. I had incision issues which i believe made my situation worse. I guess what i am saying is that it can depend on how you heal and how it all goes
