Hello everyone I had my surgery on the 21 and I can say I wm in pain

You're not even a week out. I felt like poo that first week. Pain meds were my friends.

*always call your surgeon if it seems unreasonable or "different"*

I had a lot of pain too, but it gets better! Hang in there

In trying to hang in there

I was in pain for a good ten days and then it got dramatically better.

I had mine on the 21st tooo! I was in pain up till like my 5th day post op , my only problem is that I'm thirsty ALLL the damn.timeeee! And i try to get as much fluids that i can.

One of my incision is swollen should I call doctor

Right away! I would. By the way am I the only one that was left with an open incision to pack? I'm waiting for it to finally close.it's a drag.

Hi I had my surgery on the 21st my pain is not bad I can walk without holding my left side:-)

Not me I have to hold my self

Are u still on the liquid diet. Im having trouble with my protein. And I hate crushing the potassium pill (yucky)

Yes I am still on liquid and they wont stay down

Just left doc was dehydration which makes me feel even worse

That stinks. I'm sorry your going through that. Did the doctor say what u can do to keep them down. I hope u get better soon. I don't get to c my doctor till the 4th.

Take your meds ,right now THEY are your best friend at this point and time,Believe me I resisted I thought the worse but talked to Dr. And pain on left side was due to the work he did.if its air, walk walk walk you'll find some comfort.i read in the booklet my Dr. gave me that some patients can't tolerate plain Water,so mix a little crystal light or some other drink mix into it,I personally found that if I freeze the bottled water slightly I can drink more of it ,thus getting my required amount. Please please take the meds and get some much needed relief . Hope you sleep well.

Oooh after reading all the posts about pain, im alittle more nervous. Guess i need to research more as i didnt think about having pain after the surgery...heck im dealing with so much pain pre surgery, i was hoping pain would go away post sur. Ughhhh... But im still gonna do it no matter what.
