I know I'm in the healing stage but I can't tell if the pain in my stomach is gas pain or regular pains. I still have that drainage tube in my stomach. It makes very hard for me to get comfortable. I have to sleep on my back which is even more uncomfortable. Any ideas or suggestions on how to get comfortable and deal with the pain? Pain med is 2mg, doesnt feel like it's working.

Hi ,

i am now reaching 3 weeks post Op, i had similar difficulty with sleeping.. try changing position a little atleast for few mins it will help.also moving as much as possible will help you heal faster.. i hope you will have some pain medicines , day by day the pain goes away.. after 2 weeks i now dont even feel if i underwent such a major surgery.. everything with my body has come to normal except that i am now eat very very less as expected :)

dont worry , take care and wish you a very speedy recovery..

Thanks. I will definitely try changing positions, hopefully it works. I can't afford to go to the emergency room. Thanks for the advice.
