Had my surgery June 26th.... Please tell me what kind of pains you all have felt? I have a pain right where my drain was... Please explain anything I can do for it? I change my gauze etc daily or as needed... It doesn't push any liquids out too often and it doesn't look infected at all...

Had surgery on July 3rd. Currently in hospital. Gosh, I can't seem to sleep. Pain is so bad. 5:23 am here. Ice chips make my belly hurt. And I'm so hungry. So far my only issue is pain. I can't turn on my side. My butt is hurting from sitting on the same spot. Walking is easy for me. Hope I feel better later.

I had surgery july2 am home as of last night. I have no drain. Belly is sore but not relly pain. My left ribs though almost on my side are killing me. I am hoping its just the gas. It comes and goes as i position myself so im assuming irs muskular or gas. Any thoughts?

The pain by your ribs is gas. You can take gas x to help with that. Make sure you see taking short walks it will help get rid of the gas and will help. How are you feeling otherwise? I'm so happy for you and that you made the decision for your self to have the better life you deserve:-). You know we are here for you:-).

My pain was also where the drain was. It didn't last long.

Ellody, If you're having heartburn tell your nurse...they'll give you something for that if they can.

I have been drinking 1 oz every 15 minutes. Of water. I have had two popsicles and will begin protienthis afternoon. Still have pain in the upper left side in the ribcage. Have been walking and stretching. Oh belly pain please go away.

This photo you look so out of it must be the pain meds. Wishing your belly pain to go away.

I'm 3weeks and 2 days out and I still have pain at the left side

Lots... Try something hot lie herbal tea, it helped me a lot. I had gas pains for 2 weeks. It was worse than the incision pain. I am a month out today and feeling great, keep up the good work !!

Take your pain meds as directed... When I was in the hospital they had me on morphine and then when I went home I was on 2 oxycodones every 4 hours. I took them as instructed, your body will not heal as fast if you are in pain. Once your pain gets too high like on a scale of 1 to 10... if your pain gets to a leverl 8-9- or 10 it is difficult to control at that point and no meds will help. But if you take your meds as instructed your plain will never elevate to a level where you cant control it. My pain was from gas in the shoulder area, it took about 2 wks for all to be OK.
