Just had my surgery yesterday. I am home but have bad gas pains and nausea Amd pain in one incision. They said at the hospital that its normal but Im just double checking with people on here.

Thanks

Yup its normal and very very unpleasant. I had my surgery on the 28th of Jan. I actually threw up quite a bit of blood and felt nauseous. After the last episode i felt that pressure lesson and was beginning to feel a lil better. I had to stay an extra day at the hospital for observation but Dr said it was normal. So i came home yesterday afternoon and have been feeling ok. Still a lil tired throughout the day but all in all much better. Still feel a lil gas inside but passing gas helps and doesn't hurt like burping does.

The gas definitely has to work it's way out. Try walking around and that helps tremendously! And you'll feel even better after your first bowel movement (after surgery)

Completely normal. I had pain in one of my incisions for 3 weeks (my gallbladder removal incision). I was a lucky one to not have the gas pain. My surgeon really works hard to get all of it out. I was shocked! For now just walk, walk, walk.

It is uncomfortable. I know that the pain meds made me nauseous so once I stopped them, I felt much better. But, if I had been feeling pain, I would have gone back on them! That was just my experience. But it does hurt!!

100percent normal and very unpleasant! The absolutely best thing you can do is walk walk walk. When you are sitting or laying a heating pad on your tummy provided glorious relief.

The good news, it should be gone over the next week.

Stay hydrated and walk as much as you can tolerate.

I hope you have a speedy recovery!

Good luck....

Completely sucks yet very normal. Be sure to walk and sip. Hydration is very important. Sorry sweetie, it will pass.

Stay hydrated, and use a heating pad on your tummy. That's what saved me.

Thanks...staying hydrated is what im trying to do. And walk...

Try to play with the temp of your liquids... I'm six weeks out and still require room temp water.

Really?! I used to only drink room temperature water now. It has to be absolutely ice cold. Like, I freeze it and drink as it melts

My surgery was this past friday the 30th of January. I am also experiencing the same, hoping for a speedy recovery for both you n i and anyone else it is absolutely not easy just telling myself its worth it

@@coastalchick it looks like the colder the liquid the better it goes down. So i am keeping my liquids cold, easier for them to go down.

I'm the same way. Most people on here say they prefer room temperature water. I wonder why....

I prefer colder too. The room temp gags me. And cold hasn't bothered me yet
