How Long Will It Take For The Pain To Go Away

[cnunez77 29]

I am 19 days post op and I am still in pain in the right side where my stomach was removed. How long does it take for the pain to go away so I can really get my work out on like Zumba and lift and carry my 25lb 2 year old?

I was told 6 weeks before I can lift, push, and/or carry 10 lbs

I had no pain after I left the hospital. I can't lift more than 25lbs for 5 weeks.

No lifting for 6 weeks

I think everyone is different, but I am about six weeks out now and I had considerable pain on my right side until a few days ago. I over did it a few times and I am sure I extended the healing period. My advice, looking back, take it easy. And one day you will wake up and it will be gone. Take it ready that day too.

I just asked this question a day ago and I just had my surgery on the 11/28. I'm having a lot of pain on my right also!!! It's really pulling! When I hear people say they have no pain it's crazy to me. When I'm sitting I'm totally fine though. I haven't taken pain meds so that could be part of it.

Sounds like everyone's body's are different. We all will get through it one way or another...

Your tough no pain meds I can't do that but yes those that said they had no pain are lucky. Well I am out of my pain meds so I guess I have to just tough it out looking forward to Christmas I will be 6 weeks post op and praying I will feel 100 % by then now that would be a great Christmas gift
