weight_no_longer 64 Posted August 26, 2012 I did feel pain like bruise pain if that makes sense but to be honest the gas pain is worse than the incision pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jadesatin 31 Posted August 26, 2012 The bruise pain makes total sense. I keep hearing sore (like a thousand sit upset sore ) and the gas aftermass is the worst part. thanks for confirming that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jadesatin 31 Posted August 27, 2012 My surgery is same day monday 27 too. I am having cold feet. I am worried I am gonna be in pain, that I won't be able to eat at all, that something goes wrong. I dunno. But then I think about all the reasons why I am having the operation and the result I am gonna get. It is confusing really. Hope we both have a speedy recovery Good Luck today... I'm stalling going to bed because I know I will just twist and turn. BUT as you said... we are going to be healthier, happier and wonderful in about a month. As far as "pain" goes... i've been told you feel uncomfortable and sore more than pain. Your incisions and the stomach itself don't hurt but your belly feels like you've done a million sit ups b/c of the gas. Other than that you have little pain so far as I heard. And heck.. I think of it this way... I live with pain every day of my life for the past 10 years.. GIVE ME WHAT YOU GOT so I can live free of pain for the REST OF MY LIFE !! Thinking of you...

Barisaxylady 154 Posted August 27, 2012 I can be a big baby when it comes to pain. My ob heard me yelling though the phone when I was in triage and in labor! Is there anything they can give you for the pain or do you just have to suck it up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there anything they can give you for the pain or do you just have to suck it up? Don't worry, you get pain meds in the hospital. I was able to stop mine by the following morning, but everyone is different and they will take care of your needs. You will also be sent home with pain medication in case you still need it.

shellbell125 41 Posted August 28, 2012 Hi there... I'm three days away from surgery. Scheduled for Monday the 27th and I woke up last night at 3:30am freaking out. I guess getting my final clearance made it all real for me and now I am starting to worry about " What if something happens to me ?? What will my hubby and daughter do ?? What if they don't give me enough anestheia and I feel the surgery??" Take care all and thanks for listening. Lisa Well how did you do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
