Welcome to the other side of the bench. Are you still in the hospital? Remember to sip your Water whenever you can. I went in on a Tuesday and left n Thursday. I don't remember much of Tuesday or Wednesday morning as I slept a great deal too. I do remember I had to breath into this plastic thing many times throughout the day as I had to have my lungs working better. I forgot the name of that plastic machine. Finally on Wednesday afternoon they got me out of bed with a walker. I am disabled and can't walk well. With the PT following me I walked halfway down the hallway and came right back to the bed. Only had that one walk so I had really bad gas pains that radiated into my shoulders. Once I was home I tried walking more and after about 2 weeks the gas pains left me. Those gas pains wee more painful then the incisions.

I am in Florida too Lake Worth area but had my surgery in Jupiter in Jan 2016. If your interested send me a friends request.

I had surgery on August 8th 2016... Tylenol worked best for my pain..walking is best for the back and shoulder pain... The anesthesia gets up there and has to dicipate so walking does the trick! Good luck.

OMG gas pain for 2 weeks thats awful thanks for the tip on sipping water. Im walking a couple times a day going to get out today for a little bit was pretty tired yesterday.

I was sleeved on August 11 the also. I'm in central florida. My shoulder gas pain is the worst. I sip all day and walk tons. My incision pain isn't bad, just use liquid tylenol since leaving the hospital on Friday. I actually took a ride out to the stables yesterday and walked quite a bit to see my furry babies

so sorry about your gas pain I hear it is terrible. I live in south florida. I hope your pain goes away soon. I did not even think about liquid tylenol I have been taking tablets for the incisional discomfort.

I had my surgery on August 10 and since I left the hospital on Thursday I have had horrible lower back pain almost like spasms. Is that normal?
