I had my surgery the morning of August 4th. I am very sore all over my body. Every time I breathe deep, talk, or sit down/stand up, I hurt. Will this soreness go away? Is it normal to feel this sore? I'm walking around like an 80-year-old lady because I'm so uncomfortable. I think I just got rid of most of my gas pain in my neck and arms. But my shoulder feels like someone struck it with a hammer. I hope this goes away. My tummy area is VERY sore. I never knew that talking and breathing deeply could hurt the post-op stomach.

Everything hurts. My arms, neck, tummy, legs, back. I wonder why my legs hurt when they were never operated on?

My surgeon also fixed a hiatal hernia; I was always told that it was an umbilical hernia.

I've lost over 10 pounds, so far. I'm happy about that.

Take your meds, walk walk walk, and drink fluids. Brace your tummy with a pillow while walking if you have to, it really helps! Definitely brace when you go from sitting to standing or when you cough!

Yeah, the hospital wasn't giving me my meds as often as they should have. They didn't even come in to make sure I was walking. It was a shitty hospital. Good thing my surgeon is fantastic. The only pain meds that helped me is Dilaudid. The liquid Norco barely touches the pain. I can't wait till I'm done with this liquid diet. I'm so sick of eating broth and Jello. I miss my Protein shakes and tomato Soup. >_<;

I am so sorry to hear that. Everyone deserves that great care when they have such a life changing surgery. If it were me, I would report this hospital floor to the hospital administration. Again I am so sorry about that.

A lot of the pain that you are experiencing is because you body doesn't know what to do because things are no longer the way it was before and you were cut on and parts cut out. In time the pain begins to ease and movement becomes easier
