Post op pain.

[lifechange46 5]

I came home this evening from ha ing surgery on Monday 10/23. I still have a lot of gas pain and no desire to eat or drink. How long does this last? I am up walking, took a nice warm shower that felt awesome. I just really need to get this gas out.

I hope you are feeling better and the gas pain has resolved. I didn't have any pain when I was sleeved but I did with my cholecystectomy. That lasted a couple of days IIRC.

I’ve been home about three hours and am in a significant discomfort. Post Op has not been a breeze for me at all. Gas pains mostly collected under my breasts and in the left shoulder. Walking certainly helps and eases heartburn too.

I have very little desire to drink as well. Taking Panadol tablets is really hard cause I feel so full I’m scared to vomit. I was lucky I haven’t had to vomit in the hospital but fear I may need to now at home.

Sitting and laying down is pretty uncomfortable. Haven’t found a great way around either especially when I just want to sleep the pain away haha.

How are you going??

It will be that way for about three days. You have to drink even though it's awful

Try to walk as much as you can and also use a spirometer as you will need to get the anesthesia meds out of your system. I was in discomfort for a while as I thought that is how I'm supposed to feel. Laying down will be more discomfort as you sutures will be pulling apart as you lay. If you have a recliner take advantage. I don't have a recliner but my mom prep my bed up with pillows so that I wasn't laying flat on my back. Be positive, think about the big picture and the reason why you took this step and you will manage and pull through [emoji4]

walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. the more you walk, the faster you'll work that gas out.
