Jazzzyjay 222 Posted January 19, 2017 Had my surgery yesterday day!! When I woke up I was in an incredible amount of pain. It took the nurses a while to get my pain under control and managed. But that have done a excellent job. I'm sipping Water with no problem and walking. I do have a hard time getting comfortable. There is always a pulling pressure type pain on my left side. I don't have the gas pains I've heard other talk about. I'll probably be going home tomorrow. Each day will be better than the last. I feel very thankful for my surgeon and her staff.

shedo82773 1,236 Posted January 19, 2017 My Surgeon told me that the left incision is where they put the instruments through and sometimes the pain gets so bad that some need to go into the office and get a Lidocaine shot. They cut the nerves. I was doing great and then one morning I got up and thought I did something wrong. I finally called them and that is what he told me. Just keep that in min d.
