I'm sorry Rhonda, Do you think it is pain from incisions or gas? A heating pad may help. Good luck and feel better.

Walk walk walk. It seems to help the most with the pain.

Is it pain all over or more like you have been kicked in the tummy by a horse??? The largest incision is where the excess tummy was removed so the muscle was cut. I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow ( June 19th ) and I am still just a bit sore. Able to sleep on my tummy but still hurts to turn over. If it is up in your back and shoulders/neck it's gas. Not the kind you can toot out either. From being inflated. Walk ( baby steps ) as much as you can. Tell the nurses so they can give you something or call the Sr. and see what he or she wants to do. Don't feel like you are being a bother. They are paid to take care of you. ASK for help.

For a lot of people days two and three are the worst. You will be on the other side of this before you know it.

I am 3 weeks post op

When I came out of surgery I was in so much pain and I thought it was the incisions. It turned out to be the gas pain. The gas pain was unbelievable to me. The incisions were a piece of cake. I have had c-sections and it was nothing like that.

It's true what they say walking makes it easier

I am 10 days out and I can't even remember what the pain felt like anymore. I feel fantastic! It's all for a great purpose. Take ur pain killer and wait it out. It's part of the process.

Hey guys thank you. I've had lots of pain and nausea throwing up too. It's excruciating pain just getting up and down to the bathroom. I'm hoping Tommorow will be better

Sorry you are so miserable :( By day 4 or 5, you will definite feel better. The first 3-4 days were the hardest. I'm 9 weeks out now and I honestly can't remember much. All I remember was the bed was miserable. Feel better, it will get better.
