3 days out and hurting ?

[Candiakilah 10]

Hey guys, this is day 3 for me and I'm in a significant amount of pain. Also having a hard time drinking anything because of reflux. Is this normal?

Have you called your surgeon? They can address this with medication.

Incision site pain, drain site pain, shoulder pain, abdominal pain? May be gas, normal healing, overexertion ...

Figure out where it hurts most and that me give you clues to help when you speak to your doctor

Marina, I totally understand what your feeling. I am 5 days post op and am having significant pain, fullness(bloaty), and am also unable to really drink anything. I am hoping this subsides soon. dehydration is my main concern.

Also 3 days post o.p and still have shoulder pain from gas bubbles .but every day has gotten a little better.just making sure I take my gas drops every 4 hours and a muscle relaxer

Day 3 is the worst. Every day from here on out will hopefully get better. I was where you are now, and felt like it was a mistake. I’m in my third week postop now, and aside from the diet, I feel great. It gets better.

Everything is accurate except I don't have a drain.

I had pain at three days post op. I still have a small area of discomfort after two weeks where my largest incision is.

Are you taking a med for the reflux?

I'm 2 weeks post op and still have pain, but I can tolerate it now. I was the same way the first week, asking myself if I made a mistake
