no pain??????

hi ladies, glad to hear ya'll are doing so well. going on my 5 month and feel just as great as I did when I went to the castle. had the gas to, and that was about it. yes we are lucky, as some of the sisters haven't been so lucky. I still have the numbest in my lower belly, but not to complain about that. Dr. said very normal.
glad to hear good news.

It's good to see this post - I won't say I've had no pain but it's not been horrible - mostly ibuprofen. I'm 4 weeks out and not taking anything at all. I wish I could say the same for my emotions!!!

I got really well quickly too and not really too much pain. x

Enjoy, but please do not over do it. x

I never had pain from the incision but did experience pain deep in the abdomen. I am 58 and my abdominal skin is stretchy so this might be a factor. Also, the nerves in that area may not be up to snuff.

I am not complaining!

My father had major surgery at 78 with two large incisions and also did not experience pain from the incision. My sister thinks our family has a high tolerance for pain.

I was glad to see this post also. I have had VERY little pain myself,but didn't want to seem to brag, reading so many bad experiences on this site. I am 3 weeks post op. Still get tired when up a lot, a little sore, but no real pain. I teach school and plan to go back after 6 weeks, if I still feel this good.
Going out for a walk now.

I've had very little pain as well, and while I rejoice in the fact that I was able to get rid of my Percocets the day after I came home, and 2 ibuprofen in a day constitute overkill, I also worry that I could be injuring myself without knowing it because it doesn't hurt when I move! So those of us with high pain tolerance or whatever it is that's sparing us the misery need to be careful not to overdo, even if moving a certain way doesn't seem to hurt at the time.

Meanwhile, I hope some of our nervous pre-op sisters are reading this and realizing that unbearable pain is not an inevitable result of this surgery for everyone.

Oh, and I was never visited by a moment of gas pain--ever--so that's not inevitable either....I am fortunate and grateful!
