Day 1 post op

[m.simpson88 56]

I had surgery yesterday and my port site hurts so bad. I cannot lay down or get out of the recliner without help can't even go to the bathroom without help sitting down and getting up. I have a low grade fever and the dr's office has already called in antibiotics. Is this normal?? I feel like I have pulled muscles in my neck and legs and I have a lot of pressure in my chest.

_{I was banned on Monday, July 15. So far so good, but I also had pain at my portal site and I think it is very normal. Feel better soon.}

The abdominal pain is very normal. It will last for a week or two. The pain in your chest is probably gas. I had pain in my left shoulder and pain/pressure in my chest. It went away in a week. Hang in there. It will get much better I promise.

Girl, I can so relate! It was hard to get up off the recliner, and don't get me started on trying to pee! Man, it was very painful! I'm on day 3 post and the gas is finally subsiding.. I was in tears the second day because the gas made every which way I tried to sit or lay super uncomfortable. I'm feeling better though and it will soon be better for you! Best wishes!

Banded Monday. And I have to say its not been as bad as it has been for others. Getting up does hurt. Gas is the worse pain for me.but it's starting to pass slowly. I can't tell where my port is so I Don't know if it hurts or not..lol heating paid helps a lot! Walking helps also.

The worst part is no matter what I take I can't make the fever go away. I have had a good amount of Water and half a Protein Shake today but i am dry heaving really feel like I need to throw up. Fixing to try and drink some broth.< /p>

Hope your feeling better today!

Sorry for the late response, I am feeling much better. I can't keep any Protein Shake or drink down and I can't keep broth down. Makes me so sick. I also ended up with an upper respiratory infection. I am eating very soft puréed foods thinned out. And finally feel like this was all worth it. I felt so bad that I was getting onto myself because I chose to do this.
