every time I get up I feel as if my incisions are going to tear open I am in so much pain and terrified my surgery was 3 days ago...

I had the same in and was in pain for two weeks post op. when you move around or get up try holding a pillow close your body.. It really helps!! Take whatever pain meds you have been given.

My surgery was three days ago too. I'm still having issues with getting out of bed and when I roll over. Other than that, no problems. My nurse did tell me about holding a pillow to your tummy, as well, so maybe give that a try. If you still are in pain over the weekend I would call your doctor. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!

So sorry you're having this issue. I am 5 days out and have had no pain in connection with the incisions. Mine is only gas pain. I do know that my anesthesiologist gave me a shot in the tummy while i was out that said it would keep my tummy numb for about 48 hours. It's way past that, and I still have no pain whatsoever.

every day it will get a little better. Take any pain Rx you have been given and know that it'll be a little bit better every day. Please don't be afraid to call your surgeon though, I mean you did pay him/her a bunch of money!

Work on getting liquids in and as you do, then focus on Protein.
