I can totally relate. I'm 6/7 days post op and and trying to kick the pain pills but still in too much pain.

It's the upper abdomen that hurts. But I also had a hiatal hernia repaired.

Yeah, I ran out of pain meds by day 10. Sitting for any length of time was horrible. I was in so much pain. For me it was the big incision on the left side. Week one, hard to move, get out of bed or sit up. Week two, could roll over but still couldn't lay on my left side. Week three starting to lay on my left side. The pain came and went, but if I got tired I would hurt, or maybe I hurt because I was tired. Week four, I had a few days without pain, then overdid it, and was in pain. This week is no pain. It will get better.

Oh, I had the hernia repair too. Turns out it was significant. Maybe that was the pain
