pammieanne 269 Posted October 6, 2016 The incision on your left side is usually the biggest one, where they put in the camera. Barring any other complications, the pain there is typical, and mine lasted about 3 weeks before it was completely gone. When you cough, try covering your stomach with a pillow and holding onto it for support. Of course, I'm no doctor, and since you had complications, you may want to just put a call into your doc's office to be sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steven1954 89 Posted October 6, 2016 Stay mobile and drink Water, crystal light or diet Snapple. The pain will soon dissipate and you will soon have the sweet taste of weight loss. There is nothing like it. Best of luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
