Did anyone else have severe back-pain post/op? Mine was releaved some when drain was removed but now at least it's manageable!

Well we're on our backs the entire time during surgery and in the hospital bed. I know for me I had to get up and walk. The gas can cause issues as well.

How far out are you from surgery?

4 days... feeling like everything stops at my chest-bone (even water) ... walking definitely helps alot! Just wondering what I did to myself!!

Rhonda.. it sounds like gas and not anything you did. Give it a week or so and walk, walk, walk.... it truly helps !!! Best of luck to you

Take it day by day and the pain subsides and you will feel better soon. Walk and have faith in the process.
