What did the hospital say about your pain? Are you taking anything for your nausea? I'm sorry you are having a tough time. What does your surgeon say? Im most concerned about the pain. Did they do a CT scan?

I had pain for 4 weeks, left side. I used pain meds as long as I needed to. Nausea has gone on much longer but it's finally almost completely gone. I take meds for that sometimes still as well. For me, it's a matter of learning what foods I can and cannot tolerate cuz some will make me feel bad. Good luck and hang in there. Itmmight be a slow recovery but it does get better and is definitely worth it! I hit 100 lbs lost today from a year ago --woot, woot!

I'm glad to hear the cat scan was normal. Keep in contact with your surgeon.

Nausea seems worse for some with an empty stomach. Keep sipping. It will get better.

I was off work for three and a half weeks, I was feeling fine after the 2 and 1/2 week then started throwing up. I took phenegren and got better, make sure you are doing your walks and using the breathing spirometer, and sip sip sip, this will help tremendously, good luck
