gettnwizer 1 Posted February 16, 2013 In my case, (I am adverse to pain) I had pain around the "drain" for the first 24 hrs. My doc was cautious about pain meds and gave what he thought was right. Day 2 was uncomfortable (great after they took out the drain). Then just weak. It's been 31/2 months since my surgery and I'm 85 lbs lighter and don't have the leg pain, knee pain, shortness of breath. It was not fun but sure getting to be more and more worth the few days of discomfort. Hang in there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cherice95403 13 Posted February 16, 2013 The first three days were rough for me and then it got way better. Everyone is different though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kortolano 100 Posted February 16, 2013 Good Luck!!! I am a week and a day out! I will be honest the first 24 hours are hell! I got sick from the anestesia and threw up a few times. After the 24 hour mark you will be sore just remember to walk!! it helps out also I started taking gas x melts 24 hours after surgery every 4 hours. It really seemed to help I never really had gas pains. Good Luck!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FeeIsMe2 508 Posted February 16, 2013 I think you'll be fine, the first few days are the hardest. Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsG 329 Posted February 17, 2013 The first day I told my husband it felt like I got kicked in the stomach by a horse. When they gave me morphine as soon as it hit my vein I almost threw up but the nurse was awesome and gave me something for nausea. After that I just took liquid hydrocodone and only a few times. The pain from surgery isn't too bad, what hurts are the gas pains and it feels like cramping. Just do lots of walking and you will be fine! Good luck!
