I was very sore for about 3 days but I was also only on Tylenol. Any kind of lifting or sitting for long times bothered my port incision so my suggestion is that if you have to sit or are moving around a lot wear something with a very wide elastic waist so it doesn't rub against your incisions. I'm a month post op and am perfectly fine with the exception of a little soreness at my port. Also, your belly might be swollen for a while. Maybe I was different, but the gas I had from day 2-6 was so nasty that I didn't want to be in public.... Just something to consider, you don't know what kinds of 'reactions' you might have... Good Luck!!!!!! |
