I have a question.

I see everyone is talking about insane pain levels' date=' do the doctor not give a pain med?

I went to see my surgeon two weeks ago and gave me a prescription on the spot, I didn't even ask.[/quote']

Yes they do give pain medicine, but the pain medicine I have to take is in liquid form it's Tylenol with codeine, and it's not strong enough for me.

No, the nurse was giving me morphine through IV Every 2 hr. Then once i could swallow, liquid Oxycodone every 4. She gave me that and anti nausea med for home. It knocks me out for a while but as soon as I get up and move my abdomen, or that 4 hour dose wears off, it's horrible. It hurts to breathe right now.

Some ppl seem to have minimal pain tho.

@lalaj Thanks

Hello Sandrie! Glad to see your post and knowing you have successfully completed your surgery! Take it easy and heal. I've read from others that they used a heating pad for the shoulder pain, gas x and walking. Hope this helps. Praying for a speedy recovery- one day at a time.

Hope all of you that are in pain get some relief soon! And also congrats!

The only way to get rid of gas pains is to walk, walking helps disperse the gas and after u do it u will feel so much better. Good luck!
