They removed my drain the day after surgery. Its an open wound that I change the packing on everyday. I cover it with gauze but it doesn't seem to have that much fluid coming out

I have liquid lortab works wonderful and I don't feel high which is great cuz I hate that feeling. I don't drink or do drugs cuz I like to feel in complete control at all times.I grew up in the 80's ( born in 77) so thanks to Nancy Reagan I just say no!

My incision was left open from the surgery every day I take the packing out shower then repack it myself then tape gauze on it. Not so bad. Except I look like I have a vagina on my belly lol

My upper gi was u drink the liquid and they watch u swallow thru a live xray machine. The camera down your throat is an endoscopy

Can someone get it for you? That would help. Tell them (er staff) you're in pain now that you haven't had ur meds since 10.... get demanding. Tell them you need something. Where do you live? What hospital? If you need someone to talk to pm me ill give u my number we can text I had my surgery 6/11

I'm so sorry my incision was left open and I change the packing every day. All the fluid is draining into gauze. I couldn't imagine how u feel do u have ur lortab with u? I'd take a double dose right now

I have the same issue the Dr said its not infected its swollen from the weight of my belly pulling against it. I wear a binder and I use my arm's to get up not my abdominal muscles.

So my Dr called in more pain meds for me today so I'm feeling a little better I was able to eat a cup of sugar free pudding with a half a scoop of protein powder mixed in. I've also drank 2 cups of ice water. Still uncomfortable but not in pain.

Puritans pride multi vitamin with fiber. They taste great and they're cheap

Congratulations on the weight loss I'm only 10 days out so I can't eat/ drink much at all

Sending prayers and thoughts of healing your way!

Liquid lortab

6/11 I had rny probably the worst thing I've ever endured. Some have next to no pain and some have excruciating pain unfortunately I was unlucky enough to be miserable for a week and a half. But its getting a bit better

Dr called in my pain meds I'm feeling a bit better ate sf pudding with milk and protein powder was able to drink 2 cups of ice water. Took a long cool shower now gonna take a walk. Shed a few tears for who knows why. Still uncomfortable but not in pain. Thanks ladies don't know what I'd do without you. Oh yeah lost 10 of the 20 I gained in the hospital. Post op appointment tomorrow.

I'm still in lots of pain 8 days post op anything besides clear liquids makes me feel yucky. I was going to sit on the couch I bent over to get a pillow and wham! It felt my entire abdominal wall ripped out especially around my belly button. I'm out of pain meds. Ugh I'm really regretting this surgery.

Thanks I left a message with my Dr office and wrote an email. I hope I hear from them soon.

I go for my follow up on Thursday. I'm convalescing at my sisters house (she's an RNP and registered respiratory therapist) she checks my vitals every 4 hours. So I know I'm not dying. I don't want to go to the er so ill wait til Thursday morning. Thanks for making me feel better. I'm sick of crying....I wish I could turn back time

Ask for pain meds don't be ashamed. Good luck!

I'm on day 8 and still in considerable pain. And I normally have a very high tolerance to pain. 4 kids over 8 lbs my son was 10lbs10oz no drugs. And this is way worse. I had laprascopic surgery to remove left ovary and Fallopian tube and that was nothing. I'm not trying to scare you I'm preparing you. I was pissed when I woke up from this surgery and no one warned me. You could be lucky I hope you are. This has nothing to do with bravery pain is pain.

I was in a lot of pain walking was very hard for me so I timed my walks with my pain meds. Try not to cry it only makes the pain worse. I knew if I lost my composure I'd never get it back. I'm 7 days post op and still in pain but its much better a nd I haven't taken my pain meds today

I'm 6 days post op and I'm still in horrible pain while standing or walking especially getting up. Whole I'm sitting its OK Left abdomen above drain sight is swollen it feels like its burning and tearing ... When will this end?

That was supposed to say arse

I'm not sure but to cover my arsenic I told them I was using nicorette
