Surgery went well. I'm incredibly sore, but I did my walking and it's not actually gas pain. It's mostly this one incision that is causing the pain. When did peoples incisions stop hurting so badly?

If it's the incision on the left side that is the incision they use the most during your surgery. They use it to hold or retract back your liver so they can see your stomach. My surgeon said it's also the one they use to go in with the stapler to staple everything inside. It's the most used incision site so lots of bruising.

After a few weeks it should feel better. If by any chance it becomes red and hot, call your surgeon. It happened to me and I ended up having to have it looked at and taken care of because an infection set in. Doctor said about 10% of patients get an infection there. Not all patients so I'm sure you'll be fine and feeling much better after a week or two

I had no incision pain

Oddly the pain for me was just below my sternum and was by far te worst pain I have felt. Handled a broken ankle like a boss but this, ooofta resolved after about 3 days

Same here after 3-4 day pain went away just take it easy they are still healing on the inside.

When I came home. Next day I was shopping in the market. I was driving also.

Yeah I was told no driving while on pain meds. I am not taking them as frequently now. Maybe once a day if needed and to help me sleep at night. You've had 3 kids. I'm assuming the pain from birthing children makes this seem like nothing, lol
