First day home - it hurts. How long?

I’ve been trying to stay on top of the pain med, liquids, and protein. The pain is unbearable at times. I think it’s gas. Anyone know how long this will last?

    If it is gas, you need to walk it off. I don't know how long it will last.

    Otherwise call your doctor and see what they say.

    It's an individual thing. People who get up and walk around seem to be pain free sooner. I had the same issue with gas and water gain, horrible pain!
