After surgery, it is common to experience some pain. I experienced little pain but mostly tenderness. When I tried to get up out of my waterbed, it was difficult.

But pain can be a warning sign. Review your discharge instructions. My instructions indicated that the following conditions warranted contacting your physician:

Uncontrolled or increased abdomen pain

Shortness of breath or calf pain

New onset of upper back or left shoulder pain

Chest pain, rapid heartbeat and/or dizziness

So if you find the pain increasing and uncontrolled, you may want to discuss it with your surgeons office.

Hey there I had my surgery on the same day as you. My pain is getting better and better. This might be too much info but I found when I need to urinate I sit down which helps to release gas in my bowls. This has helped me A LOT! Also getting someone to tap your back as you walk like burping a baby really helps too!

It took me two weeks. Everyone's healing process is different though. It may have taken me 2 weeks but it may be a little sooner or something for you.
