IDK if this is gas or pain!

Surgery 7/20/17 I made it! I feel a less pressure around the incisions although the one above my umbilical cord is the worst every move feels like It is ripping open. bThe nurses said that my main pain from the hernia repair surgery/I dont which is which- just in PAIN!

I managed to get up 3 flights of star after being released! I wanted to stay in the hospital I was like nooooo this bed is adjustable mines dont do this! I think it should be a 2 day required hospital; stay! My question is now what IS THIS BLOATED SHARP PAIN I AM FEELING? WHAT TO DO? i am scared to do anything to harm myself besides sip this Water and protein!

The pain sounds like gas pain. If so walking the hallways will do you a lot of good.

Hernia repairs are MUCH worse than the surgery. You can expect to have abdominal pain for a few weeks But, at the moment, that does sound like gas, and the more you can get up and move, the better off you will be. You will need to be extra vigilant about not bending over too far or lifting weight... but regular walking will do you good. You get to be a delicate flower for a while! {Hugs}

I am learning that the pain is more so from the repair. I am enjoying this resting up phase although I cant really find a comfortable sitting place to read. I find joy in loading up all these great recipes to do this successfully!
