Is this normal?

Is it normal for me to be aching horribly from my wounds 3 days post op?

You should be sore but I didn't ache horribly. Call your doc today if it continues.

Yes to a point the one cut they take your tummy out of will hurt more then the others but that will go away, remember you are ONLY 3 days out give it some time

was the surgery laparascopic or open? there should only be an ache by the 3rd day. but make sure you are taking it easy and not moving alot or lifting. if it does not get better notify the surgeon.

I am very sore and I'm on liquid pain meds. It's just very uncomfortable to move. I'm willing to suck this up though. I'm beyond ready to lose weight!

Thank you! Just making sure this was natural.

Thank you! My surgery consisted of 5 small incisions. So I'm guessing it was laparoscopic? Lol not too sure. I guess im just a pansy for pain. On another note, at the hospital I was given shots and that would take care of my pain. Now that I got sent home, I'm on a liquid pain med which I can't swallow at all once! I'm just taking sips of it.

Im glad to see I'm not in this journey alone. I had only taken 5 days off but now I'm thinking going for at least 2 weeks. I'm going to call HR tomorrow and see if I can use some of my disability days.
