Pain and regrets

[dominiquekyani 4]

Again I'm only 3 days post op but pain and soreness is all over feels like. Mostly in my next and shoulders I can't sleep very well at all. My husband thinks I'm over exaggerating but really it's horrible. My incisions burn like hell. It hurts when I swallow anything at all. I've been walking every hour or so to move all the gas around it's definitely gotten better since I came home Thursday but I feel like my c-section 9 months ago was a little easier than this! Taking the hydrocodone that was given as needed but that just makes me sleepy and doesn't really help. I'm having a lot of regrets about the surgery in general. Is this normal? At this point I'm giving my husband all the more reason to state his opinions on my I shouldn't have went through with this. I hope it gets better and hopefully I'll be able to look back and smile very soon.

Pain is what the patient says it is. You are the one feeling this pain and people here who have gone through this type of surgery believe you. Some have more pain than others. Our body types are different. It gets better though. Give it a few more days. Again, some people regret after the surgery but the benefits will outweigh these initial teething problems. Hope you feel better soon Dominique. You have done the hard part already.

Is this normal? You bet it is! Lots of us experienced regret. Soon you're going to start feeling better. Weight is going to start coming off, you're going to start fitting into smaller clothes, people will notice. That feeling of regret will fade away. You'll reach a point when the only thing you'll regret is not doing this sooner. Congratulations on your surgery! Good luck!
