Today is my 3rd day post op. A lot of belly pain and I swear something is wrong with my port. I can't even touch the skin by it.. ugh.. I pray tomorrow is better.

you have got to remember you had major surgery. pain is commonplace. take your pain medication and if the doctor didn't prescribe enough call the office and get more. be assertive. rest and give yourself a break. just walking can jiggle stuff. but walking is good. not fast pace but slow and steady. rest as much as you can. use ice for comfort. i also liked a hot shower and than i would ice it. cold drinks can also help with swelling. be kind to yourself it is the most important thing you can do. if there is increased swelling, redness or fever you need to contact your doctor immediatly. i feel for you and you will get through these first days i promise
