How long is this soreness pain going to last....I got rid of the gas by taking phazime otc ....Its like hell getting in and out of bed....that's the only problems I'm seeming to have....this was the first major surgery I've ever had....

I'm 4 days post surgery & most of my soreness is gone. Maybe you should contact your doctor. I even got dressed today! =}

I had my surgery on May 2nd. I'm still a little sore, but it is getting much better. It still hurts to get in and out of bed, but it's better!

Congratulations! !! I got dressed and showered every day since I left hospital Thursday...I went to hair salon same day...It hurts when I walk...doubled over a little probably bc of stitches ....

Yes getting in out of bed is the worst ...I try not to lay down until I'm super tired ....it def does get better....glad as all hell the excruciating gas is gone

I am 1 month post op.....and I was sore for about a week. It wasn't pain just really sore and I could just feel my insides loose or just not settled yet(for lack of a better way to describe it). I didn't do anything but walk, sip fluids, and rest....over and over for three weeks. I just wanted to be extra safe. Getting in and out of bed was tricky....I used my nightstand and turned it to where I could push myself up with ease. It really helped and in about four days post op I didn't need it anymore. Good luck!

I had my surgery Tuesday. I only feel sore too especially my belly button where he cut it because he fixed my hernia too. I have been sleeping on my couch because it's too hard to get in the bed. Good luck to all!!!

Leonor - maybe you're overdoing it. I know my post may seem lazy, but the most important thing after surgery is rest. This is my 5th major surgery (including 2 for cancer) and I tried to do too much at first too & paid for it. This is your time. I haven't been outta the house except the back yard. I sleep when I'm tired. My pain is pretty much gone, even when I get out of bed. Off my soapbox now. Just take care of yourself. Most important!

Thank you. I feel like I am resting too much. But I know I need too. So hopefully I will feel better soon.

I only had pain for 3 days. Everyone is different. Listen to your body and talk with your dr.
