You can get heating pads at Walmart,Kmart,target,walgreens,cvs. Just about any store like those should have it

I had terrible pain with my surgery too. In fact, I felt horrible for about a week and a half and was thinking what in the heck did I do. About day 10-11, I turned a corner and started feeling so much better. I teach school so I have had the summer to recover and in the last 2 weeks, I have finally been able to say I completely feel good and have enough energy to not feel completely zapped at the end of the day.

I thought i had hurt myself getting into bed yesterday. That numb spot on my stomach by the large incision felt like it balled into a fist. I really thought the worst, broke out in a sweat.

Apparently it moved something because i had my first poop 8 hrs later, lol.

Hi,

Was sleeved Wed Aug 14th, had a horrible gas pain under my left breast. Thought I was having a heart attack! I have the gas melts in cherry flavor. First I had to convince the nurse to let me take MY gas-x but once I got through to them the pain subsided (SLOWLY) that was the biggest thing so far about this surgery. Home and trying to get in my liquids, I do hot tea in the morning, ice pops are freakin GREAT and flavored Water, then I'll do some chicken broth to end things with. Haven't looked at a scale and won't for right now and I walk through my apartment, back and forth. I still feel really tired so I don't want to jump on the treadmill just yet. Taking this end one day @ a time.

I'm almost 3 weeks out believe me when I say it gets better. Take it one day at a time. I was the same way. Sip sip. You don't. Want to become dehydrated. Try crystal light or sucking on freeze pops.

Do you get pain medication, like Vicodin or anything?

Damn the incision hurts.. I dont think its gas
