Hi friends, surggery was at 5:00 on tuesday. I alll went very well. I have a few small incisions and one 2 inch one going down to the right of my belly button. I have to tell you the pain surrounding the larger incision is terrible. Its impossible to get up from bed, or a chair, it actually takes your breadthh away. Its also swollen in that area. The doctors said the pain is all muscles. Yes it feels like I did 6,000 sit ups. I was very worried abbout that but they said it will get better. Its only been 3 days and im such a big baby. I never had any surgery before so I did not know what to expect. Its hard for me to even cough. Have any of you hhad this severe muscle pain? Im taking next week off of work to rest up since there is no way I could return on Monday. I Know I made the right decision but wow the muscle pain in that area is pretty painfull and hard to get up and down, foreget about bending, and the swelling. Am I just being over worried? Is this to be expected? The doctor said i will be fine but I get paranoid.
