Post op inside pain

[ella37 455]

Sleeved yesterday morning

Not quire sure how to phrase this correctly, but how bad was your actual stomach pain? The inside as opposed to the incisions? It's dumb but I guess I never thought about this before the procedure. I thought about it hurting when I ate and about the incisions but I never really took time to think about how I'd have an open wound inside my body that would just be achy afterwards?

What was your inner incision pain like? I'm also feeling lots of spasms and contracting.

Thanks!

I didn't experience pain like that. What I did feel was the area just below my largest incision where the muscle was impacted. Spasms are not unusual and should pass in a few days. Your stomach doesn't know what has happened to it. And, keep thinking about the inside healing and keep on plan.

@@ella37 It could be the gas from expanding your abdomen during surgery. Be sure to walk alot. Also - if you have other pain - talk to the nurses to see if there's anything they can do. That's assuming your still in the hospital.

I'm at home now and thanks to gas x strips I only had a tiny taste of gas pain, which was more than enough!

I guess everyone heals differently, I'm just feeling pretty raw inside.

@@ella37 That's understandable considering what your body went thru. Try to see if a heating helps. Hope you feel better soon.
