I need a pep talk. I am exhausted. I haven't slept much since op. I can alternate oxycodone & 100 mcg fentanyl. It helps but just gets me to the point where I can stop crying. I'm ridiculously nauseated. Hacking up this glue thick phlegm. I've been walking my butt off.. I can feel the gas bubbling in there but its not passing. Hiccups are excruciating. Getting up is easy but back down is soo painful. How long will this last? I'm borderline hysterical.

I understand the no sleep and crying! I'm two weeks out and I still have up and down days. But each day it gets better! I promise. I was never in pain but the soreness got better quick. Each day gets easier. Hang in there....just remember it's so gonna be worth all you're going through right now when you see the scale moving down!!!

It does get better. Just takes time. The itching could be an allergic reaction. Call you doctor.

I had itching as well but it went away like 2 days ago ! Im 1 week post op !

Hang in there.... it gets better, continue to walk, do as your doctor tells you and the itching may be from your pain meds. Oxycodone makes me itch a bit.

Thanks everyone. I'm so glad I found this forum.

What are you taking for gas?

Hang in there! You can get through this!!

Nothing yet. Dr. Didn't give me anything. I may buy some infants gas drops. So far the gas pain is the least of it.

They were a miracle worker for me.

Any type of painkillers have serious itching as a side effect! Hang in there!
