I feel great except for a little soar and swollen in stomach area. How long does the soarness last?

Your stomach will be sore for a while. I was able to sleep on my side about a week out and it gradually gets better. But at 1 month out I still get sore if I lay on my stomach or try to hold something heavy against it. You will feel sooo much better day 3-4. And each day after that you just feel better and better! Congrats!

It varies from person to person. I have had no pain or soreness at all and can sleep comfortably on my stomach at 1 week post op. Others have a little and dome have more. Just depends on your body. Hang in there.

I got mine on Wednesday, probably the same day as you. I have a few bruises around my belt line and the area around my navel is getting redish looking and is tender to the touch but other than that I feel great. Went to a BBQ competition today where my daughter and son-in-law had a booth and walked all around and had a great time. Have not been the least bit hungry since starting the clear liquid diet a week before surgery so been VERY lucky there.

I was able to sleep on either side easily last night but because of the tenderness on my belly I avoided it when going from one side to the next. It doesn't hurt unless I push in or rub on it. For some reason the night after the surgery I could lay on my right side but it hurt if I laid on my left side for any length of time so I didn't. I can't imagine the pain not going away very soon. Glad that's all you're having problems with.

I was sore for about the first week. I'm a side sleeper so I used pillows as like a barricade to stop my stomach from hurting (or at least that's what worked for me!). The gas pains honestly went away around day 3 or 4 for me, but I walked A LOT. I still get gas pains when I sip something like my Protein Shake or Water too close together. But the second week, you definitely feel a lot more like yourself! Good luck! :D

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
