Post op pain - be honest

[Lazarus Bishop 7]

I had basically no pain post-op, just some mild pain on the largest incision if I got a little too active. Now that being said I had a lot of what I'll call discomfort and nausea after I first woke up. About 6 hours later the recovery staff suggested I walk around for a bit and that seemed to provide a lot of relief.

They kept me on 2mg of hydromorphone and 1000mg of Tylenol while I was in the hospital is seemed to help wit the discomfort and something for the nausea through the IV. As soon as I got home I stuck with a low dose of Tylenol mainly to try to prevent too much irritation of the staple lines. No real pain so far.

Don’t stress too much about that. Is it the one just next to your belly button? It was the same for me, especially at that incision. Take the rule of not lifting anything heavy seriously, because that will make it hurt sooo much more. Just be patient, it will go away. Also, a stomach binder really helped me.
