Kelly, My experience: I had the painful swelling below my port site making me lopsided. I knew it wasn't right when it became redish and warmer there than other areas. I finally just went to the office (this morning) and made them look at it. They called in antibotics immediately (redness and heat) and I will see the Dr. tomorrow. He was away in surgery all day today. I am feeling a tiny better with the med. in me for an hour so far. Hope you improve soon!!

Kelly have you tried the gas x strips - they help alot - you are just bloated form the surgery - Also walking helps.. Get some gas x strips and walk - and some use a heating pad.

I had horrible gas pains in my shoulder the day after surgery and get a little pain in my shoulder when i eat.

Are you able to have cream Soups on your diet - try soupy mash potatoes... this helped me i had 10 days of full liquids and on thrusday moved to mushies.
