Once you have had your surgery come on in to this post from the "pre-op" side. Share your experience.

It kinda also feels like a nerve? Idk :-(

I got that my right side i think its where you got your port. I think I'll be off at least for weeks but i have a physical job

I took some Tylenol. Seems to have helped

I am one week post-op today! Everything has gone really well, thank goodness.

My gas pain wasn't especially bad until the last 2 days (you would think it would get better). I have been living on gasx and the heating pad. Please tell me it subsides soon.

Down 12 lbs since my pre-op diet! Pretty darn excited about that!

I'm a week today too!!! I have lost 23 lbs since post op diet. I'm so proud of myself. :-)

i am 13 days post op and feeling well.I have had a few moments of self pity and have been working hard to overcome the head hunger.

Keep up the great work...We are on our way!

That's great!! I love seeing people succeeding. Surprisingly enough I'm not hungry AT ALL! I think my head is really in the game.

I am with u my gas pain started in belly end of first week. Tomorrow makes week 2 and im still suffering on and off with the gas. i also take gas x and try to walk around a bit. tho when i walk a lot like at the store, i get REALLY achy. I see dr tmrw and will ask about this bcuz it seems i shuld be able to walk distances by now. Guess everyone is different

Day 2 - The pain in my shoulder is killing me. I have walked laps around my house, swinging my left arm and beating on my chest trying to get it loose. Help with ideas please

I experienced the same thing with the gas. It wasn't so bad the first few days, but then it got rough! It did go away for me, but I am still carrying around the Gas-x strips in case I need them!

Congratulations on your progress! Keep up the good work!
