Reality Hits!

[USAFmom2 5]

I had my surgery on Tuesday, Oct. 23 and came home the next day. Was feeling really good the first couple of days and was beginning to think that I was one of those lucky people who got through this with hardly any pain and then today reality hit- and so did this incredible pain just to the left of my belly button. I've been walking faithfully every couple of hours, getting fluids in so I don't think anything has gone wrong, but boy does it hurt! I'm feeling kind of down because I've followed my doctor's instructions and today I feel awful? Did anyone else experience this kind of pain and please tell me it will get better!

I was the same had surgery Tuesday as well, but realized my pain was gas and as long as I walked and kept drinking it got better. Today I'm feeling good soar but much better.

Yes, i had same exact pain on left side... I had surgery oct 3 and a week later felt the pain, i ended up using a few percoset or a few days and then finally it went away. Just hang in there.
