Hi ssflbelle, I am really new to this surgery, too. But I have heard other ladies talk about gas pain after surgery, so I know it does happen. I can't answer your questions, but I am sending you a big hug and smile to help you feel better. Hope it happens soon!

Could be gas pain though the pain associated with surgery should be gone by day 7. Is it left or right side? If right side,, that can sometimes by gallbladder I think? If it concerns you definitely call the doctor. Re gain, I know it is terribly frustrating especially this early in the journey but I promise you it will all start to come off soon. Your body is trying to recover from major surgery. Many (most) hit a stall right about 3 weeks, some hit it earlier. That may very well be what you are experiencing. Best advice is stay off the scale for a week and just stick with the program. I looked at your stats and look how far you have come!! You are a super hero! You can totally do this! Promise you will look back at this in 6 months and be astonished at your accomplishments.

Thanks but a super hero I don't think so. During the 3 procedure operation I had my gallbladder taken out. This is not incision pain. It is in the right side lower back shoulder pain that moved today to the breast armpit area. I saw my PCP on Thursday when I had the pain for 6 days all ready. He thought when the nurses and Pt lifted me off the toilet they broke a rib. But that was not the case. He gave me liquid Tylenol with codeine and it was helping but when the pain switched to the breast armpit area the meds were not helping any more. The walking I was doing was with the walker but today I couldn't even get out the door. All I did was relax in my recliner, surf the net and watch TV. It is only 10 days post op so I was surprised to see a stall all ready
