Hi everyone!! I'm post op day 2 and was wondering if anyone else had issues with their incisions hurting like hell? I have to literally roll out of bed to get up. My incisions are the only thing giving me issues.... I'm in pain guys! I'm supposed to take the bandages off today and I'm so scared. Thank You everyone

Yes I was in a lot of pain during the first week especially I used ice packs, hot Water bottles in between the pain meds for at least 2 weeks in week 2 it got better only the large incision still hurt. I'm 4 weeks post op now the large one still has a dull pain.

I experienced what you are describing. I had to sleep on my sofa for 3 nights because I couldn't get in and out of my bed. But by day 4 it was better. Keep walking, it helps. I also found that binding my stomach gave some relief as well.

Yeah, they really hurt at first. Make sure you take your pain meds for the first few days so that you can get up and walk around. The walking helps with any gas pains you may have and helps your body to trigger healing processes.

My incisions stopped being so painful after the first week but were still sore for a few weeks.

Hope you feel better soon.

I had incision pain for 2 weeks . A heating pad definitely helped and just resting. Dont over do it. I went to a christmas party a little over a week post op because I was feeling great, I definitely paid for it that night at the hotel, my back killed me and incision was hurting. I say incision because the only one that gave me issues was the spot my stomach was removed. Just rest when you can and even light stretching helped the tightness feeling, no jane fonda work out though lol! Good luck

I hate the pain meds because they are liquid and I can't stomach the taste! I'm going to get applesauce and try that

I had pain around my big incision for 2 weeks straight and it just subsided on the 14th day. It's still tender but way more manageable than what it was a couple of days before.

I am 25 days post op and finally have very little incision pain. Be patient. It takes time to heal! You just had major surgery. Relax and focus on your recovery. It does get better!

I am 9 days post op, no pain, no meds, a little soar. Days 1 thru 3 were hell for me. Glad to say pain slowly subsided days 4 n 5. Days 6-9 woke up with no pain, slight soreness. Ask ur doc about ice pack, mine told me not to do it, to do warm instead. Cushioning ur belly w a pillow at night helps too but walking n drinking my gas x helped d most. It will get better. Good luck.

Thank god I had no issues at all. Was sleeping on my side and stomach on day 4. No pain meds after day one..

I wonder why some pains are really bad and others are mild?...

you gotta wonder what the hell the Drs are doing.

What is binding the stomach???... I haven't heard of that before

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
