Slee*****T

Ok im a week out and tomorrow i have my one week post op visit... pretty much everything is good as far as the drinking fluids and fluids... my only complaint is i CANNOT get comfortable when im trying to sleep... i dont want to lay on my back all the time... but then if i lay on my right side i feel like im pulling my stomach... my left i feel like im squashing it... ugh.. plus i have a two yr old who i kept this whooole weekend by myself cause it was my moms bday.. n man she worked me after bending and cleaning up after her and carrying her (i wasnt supposed to pick up more than ten pounds) I have been trying to avoid taking my Lortab but i gave in... anyone elsr have this problem.... pain on left for over a week

Yip, definitely had left side pain and that's pretty normal.



Try sleeping on your right side with a pillow tucked under your tummy to stop the pulling and one up against your back too. In a few days you will be able to do the "pillow squash" as I called it lying on your left side too.



It will get easier!

Yes I had a similar problem. I slept in my recliner for a few weeks. I know it's probably the last thing you want to hear, but it will get better with time. Hang in there *hugs*

Well it is glad that I am not the only one... thanks for the encouragment

 The best way to look at it is to remember that every day it get's a little better. My left side had the most pain also. Bob

YEP ME TO, almost 2 weeks out, side feel better but still hurts, stopped pain meds when I got my gists 2 and 5 from their dads on friday...
So cant believe how many times my belly has been abused by them.
