I'm still in lots of pain 8 days post op anything besides clear liquids makes me feel yucky. I was going to sit on the couch I bent over to get a pillow and wham! It felt my entire abdominal wall ripped out especially around my belly button. I'm out of pain meds. Ugh I'm really regretting this surgery.

I had my lyposcopic no pain what so ever never took one pain med.. day of surgery i was walking around hospital. Keep your head up soon this will just be memory. Im sure ur dr will give you more meds.. ask him if this pain is normal. I feel like i never went threw surgery ..

Don't worry that's normal I was felt like you you're not alone I regret my surgery too but know I feel better. Good luck and I hope you can feel better...

You will be fine

Hey! U r not alone! I swear worse pain of my life - constantly asking why did I do this??? I'm on day 14 and I still have pain. Heating pad really helps!!!

Hi. I hope you are seeing your doc about it. I didnt ever feel ripping. I am 5 weeks out.

I go for my follow up on Thursday. I'm convalescing at my sisters house (she's an RNP and registered respiratory therapist) she checks my vitals every 4 hours. So I know I'm not dying. I don't want to go to the er so ill wait til Thursday morning. Thanks for making me feel better. I'm sick of crying....I wish I could turn back time

If I were you, I would put in a call to your Dr's office. There is no sense in you suffering when you don't have to. I'm a registered nurse, and my advice is to call. You're not dying, like you said, but when you're suffering, sometimes you wish you were.

When I had my surgery, everyone from the doctors to every nurse stressed the importance of letting them know if you're in pain. Research has shown that people in pain heal slower and pain can cause unnecessary complications. Call your doctor. Success does not have to be synonomous with suffering. Before you know it any thoughts of regret about having the surgery will melt away right along with the pounds. You're gonna love the new you!!

Thanks I left a message with my Dr office and wrote an email. I hope I hear from them soon.

Dr called in my pain meds I'm feeling a bit better ate sf pudding with milk and protein powder was able to drink 2 cups of ice water. Took a long cool shower now gonna take a walk. Shed a few tears for who knows why. Still uncomfortable but not in pain. Thanks ladies don't know what I'd do without you. Oh yeah lost 10 of the 20 I gained in the hospital. Post op appointment tomorrow.
