I am in severe pain, but they said it would hurt worse since I had my gallbladder out and a hietal hernia repair. I can sip my Water fine.. But I get a sever sharp pain afterward. The gas pain is hell too! I have 9 surgical areas and all but 1 of the sights have 2 staples each, but one had 4 staples and another has my jp drain in it.

Oh wow, that's a lot of work in one surgery. But also nice to get it all taken care of at once. I'm not looking forward to the gas pain. I was fortunate enough not to deal with it, when I had laparoscopic surgery before.

How long do you have to have the drain?... Staples. I thought they just stitched you up..... Are you home yet? sorry for all the questions. Probably not what you want to deal with right now.

Rest, walk, rest, walk and rest some more.. lol. But really, I hope you are doing and feeling better than yesterday.

It was a lot of work for one time, and I think it is slowing my healing time, and definitely increasing my pain. Usually this surgeon dermabondS your op sights.. But I have a crap ton of staples. I do still have my drain and it's still draining but hopefully he will pull it today and let me go home, but it's possible he won't with me unable to tolerate liquid.

I also have morphjne, dilaudid, and hydrocodone Syrup. I almost vomit every time I try to take it. So that's not cook!

I actually just walked... It is nice to move around

I am doing a lot better, thank you.

I'm still healing and sore, but each day gets better and better! The protonix did the trick with the mid epigastric pain I was having, and the other pain is just normal surgical stuff. Ready to get well and start working out!! ????

I was stuck with the JP drain for 6 months after a colon resection (sp) last dec. I understand the pain. Good luck and my prayers are with you.
