I got a belly belt... The kind they use after abdominal surgery.... Or you can purchase a maternity belt from target. It helped me so much because I felt like I needed some support on my stomach

I know exactly how you feel. Take your pain meds. I am 3 weeks post op. I was so scared to take my pain medicine because I thought it would get stuck or that I would get nauseous. Then once I started taking as told felt much better. I could not sleep either and my dr gave me ambien and that also helped.

Ok I feel a lol better when I'm on it almost 6 yrs i start going crazy

Pain does get better! Keep walking and take your pain medicine. Welcome to the losers bench.

Thank you I'm so excited cant wait I have no appetite at all

Take your pain meds, my surgeon also told me I could take 2 pills at once if the pain got that bad !!! I walked alot, rested and took my pain meds every 4 hours for the first few days after I was home. Each day gets better but walking helps soooooo much with gas.
