Pain is def. easing up some but it is still hurting which is expected, was able to get a shower today which made a world of difference. Wondering how long im going to have to sleep on recliner chair because i still cant lay flat in my bed and be able to get back up without using abdominal muscles. If anyone has any word of advise of what to expect i would greatly appreciate it

Amanda it took me around 7 to 9 days after surgery. After that you feel ok. You will be alright. Take care

Hey there. Congrats First!

I found using a pillow to hold against your tummy when getting up was a big help. Also not trying to sit straight up, roll to your side, bent knees, push up with your arms and just be slow.

For me my 'kicked by a mule' feeling was about a week, I still get sore if I do too much, at almost a month out. But never more than uncomfortable.

Vitamin E oil for the scars when your bandages come off really helps. And WALK walk walk...the more you walk it seems to relieve many pains. THat is all I got! :)

Feel better, it is SO worth it!
