good luck and a speedy recovery to you. Today is post surgery day 4 for me so I am slightly ahead of you.

This recovery is hard. The radiating has pains suck! Please God heal me up quickly. :-(

Yes I agree! During the first 3 days I was calling on Jesus! The Pope! Mother Theresa and Mick Jagger!!!! I wanted relieve quickly. I underestimated this surgery! Never thought the pain would be so great!!!!today is day 6 and besides the sore incisions I'm doing great! Just can't get down 64 oz of down. I kno too much tmi but my urine is strong!

I'm doing better today. Thank God! I plan on going for a walk with my dogs tomorrow. I hope it will help eliminate the remainder of the gas. I'm doing my best to try and burp every time I take a drink to help alleviate extra gas pains. So far today I haven't felt nauseous. Thank God!!!

I'm 3 weeks out and it feels like I pulled a muscle in my lower left abdomen. I'm not feeling nausea, dizziness, fever or anything other than the twinge when I move a certain way or sneeze. Anyone else experience this?

I am in my 4th week and this sounds exactly what I have experienced. This twinge/cramp in my lower left abdomen has me stumped and I have not been able to link it with food consumption, drinking copious amounts of water, or position. It is a mystery; but, not a problem considering I have experienced NO vomiting, nausea, or associated surgical pain.

I had that happen too over the week end and I think it was due to lifting something too heavy like my three year old grandson. I felt like I pulled an abdominal muscle.

This started a couple of days ago. Like I said, no other symptoms except that twinge of pain from time to time. I wish I had an answer. I don't think its a leak since there are no other symptoms.

Hi guys,

I am two weeks post, and I am hardly losing anything. ...like 4 lbs???

Kinda frustrated, anyone else experience this? I am hoping it's just my body adjusting to the shock of losing my

gallbladder and part of my stomach.....
