- LAPAROSCOPY SURGERY RECOVERY TIPS!
---------------------------------------------------
Hi guys!
I wanted to film this video to share with you some tips & tricks I discovered when recovering from my second laparoscopy/hysteroscopy surgery a few weeks ago, & let you know what worked for me.
After a not so great recovery following my first lap surgery 2 years ago, I tried a few things differently this time round & had a much easier recovery- hoping some of these things can help make a difference for you too!
Of course, everyone is different & every case is different, but I hope some of these suggestions will help speed your recovery process along too!
Much love to each of you & best wishes for a wonderful 2018 :)
Love, light & baby dust xo

That shoulder pain from the gas is no joke. Heat packs worked great for me. Thanks for sharing!
Sure is no joke!
Try heat pad.. It works.
Just got carboncaps!! Thank you!! The pain and swelling in the belly button area have been awful. I’m on day 4 after gallbladder removal surgery! You look great!! I look terrible!!:(
Today I had the same surgery and my shoulder is in pain. My doctor didn’t go over the side effects with me. Thanks for this informative video.
Catalina Gomez De Campos is my first day I'm dying this gas not coming out is trapped moving everywhere except out
Got some tips to add, massager for shoulders is painful but really helped.
For the abdominal pain, try breathing with your stomach (pushing the stomach out as you breathe in). It feels very strange at first but it'll help with the gas to get out quicker.
Thank you dearly for this vid ♥️
Thank you so much for this information.
Just finished my surgery
Okay, how many cups of tea did you drink a day? & you took the charcoal every what hour?
kjaee Not a lot, 1-2 cups a day. And charcoal I took one tablet every 3-4 hours or so :)
Tim and Celeste im drinking 2 cups of chamomile tea a day & 2 charcoal caps every 4 hours. Im currently 8 days post op and very annoyed. I can’t sleep comfortable or eat what i want cuz i get constipated. I’ve been crying & screaming everyday. The gas is making me itch & i think it spread to my legs. I heard charcoal can make you constipated. Im not too sure how true that is & im trying to get rid of this gas so fast that i think im harming myself. I think i have an electrolyte imbalance or im drinking too much water because my urine is crystal clear and im constantly getting headaches. Plus idk what to eat because everything gets stuck where my incisions are so i drink tea or water to help it pass. Idk what to do, im losing it!
Perhaps you should see a doctor.. Sorry to hear you're uncomfortable & not coping well!
Had this surgery today and I’m feeling great. Had mild shoulder pain and a little tummy pain at the hospital. Not sure if I’ll be in pain later on. But so far I’m feeling great🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
Hey lady how are you feeling now 2 months since your surgery? Hope you are recovering ok.
The shoulder pain... my God who cares about the actual incisions when the shoulder pain takes away any pain from the rest of the body. I had surgery yesterday and came home today.
I had surgery 12/16/2020 how’s it going now ? im still in a lot of pain , scared to do anything ? hows your recovery ?
@@genesisgomez7336 most of its gone now actually, last night was the first night I slept without using painkillers, shoulder doesn't have much pain anymore
@@Stroggdorr happy to hear that hun . I’m trying to feel better myself still have a lot of gas , but it got a little better
This gas pain is horrendous! I am in agony cannot move. Completely forgot about the cuts on my tummy /pain down below because it feels like i have a broken shoulder and ribs! Wow . Wouldnt wish this on my worst enemy
Same happened to me had surgery 3 weeks ago...ectopic pregnancy. Went to ER with lower abdomen pain. Vomited 4 times then i was in super duper pain on right side of shoulder and ribs... my breathing waa 30 tob 35 BPM every few minutes due to pain on rightside because Dr said it was all blood scatteted around ovary and around liver so it was pushing right side of diaphram. after sugery it went away . I still feel weak...
I had the same pain last night I was screaming from the pain. Worse pain ever.
You'll I have surgery this Friday and this is scaring me more than the surgery 😫
@@sweetpeach3293 you’re going to do ok! Make appt with your regular doctor tomorrow and tell them you need some anxiety pills for surgery you are gonna have because it’s causing mental distress. Call first thing in morning! You are gonna feel so much better after surgery when these stupid things are gone. You will say why did I put this off for so long. ❤️
@@annomaly751 Thanks Anne 😊 That's a great suggestion that I didnt think of. Because my nerves are so bad.
Just had my surgery but I am in pain been moving around ever since now I think I'm done , this pain is so bad I cannot get comfy
Watching this as I had my op 2 days ago! The shoulder pain / chest pain is absolutely horrendous!! My tummy isn’t really bothering me anymore as the gassy pains absolutely outweigh anything 😢 xxx
Just be very very very careful with activated charcoal. I am an ER nurse and we give it to patients with drug over-doses because it binds to the drugs in the digestive system and hopefully inactivates the drugs in their system. That means if you take this, it might inactivate the pain meds or other important medications you are taking. Personally, I would recommend staying away from this one--especially if you are taking any important medications. However, if you are NOT taking any other medications, it might be worth trying.
I had this surgery yesterday - I’m glad you mention the sleeping up right. That’s what I did too
Does anyone else get belly button pain when urinating? It’s day 4 for me and this is the number one thing bothering me
Definitely, that shoulder pain is awful. Not horrid but it lets you know it's there and you just don't need any more help hurting. I appreciate the helpful advice. Cheers to you and yours!
Omg so painful had mine 5 days ago
I had mine 3 days ago. I'm surprised that I didn't feel pain except getting up. They removed 2.6 liters of liquid in my ovary. The nausea is worst though...
rowena marquez Sorry, I’ve only just seen your comment. Wow, sounds like a successful surgery! Hope the remainder of your surgery went well :)
My doctor didn’t give me any of those details she just said all went good like plan and thats it :( I wanted to know what she saw around the uterus how heavy? 😂 i wanted to know more she just said is over and u will be fine
Me I had no liquid, and no nausea.....Endo can differ a lot from one case to another, as I can see....I saw people eating a sandwich straight after surgery, I couldn't touch food too much until my 3rd day post-surgery, I just wanted juice....We are all different...
Thanks for sharing.
I’m currently almost 48 hours post op. Had an ovarian laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.
Feel really fine other than a tiny bit sore on my belly button and the hole where they took out the cyst.
Wish I’d known about the sleeping upright part. Suffering from horrendous shoulder pain since late yesterday. Every time I breathe it hurts like broken ribs and I get a sharp stabbing pain in my shoulder, and I have a high pain threshold.
Just sent my hubby out for charcoal, but I’m drinking peppermint tea and snacking on prunes.
Belly button is a bit sore but every other feeling is overtaken by the shoulder pain. Man, I was warned but it’s hectic! Now lying propped up and waiting for the charcoal to arrive.......... :-)
Goodly k to anyone else about to have an op x
That should say good luck to anyone else ! Lol
Sally Redshaw Glad you’re feeling good post op, but sorry to hear you’re experiencing the shoulder pain... It’s so unpleasant!! Much worse than the dr described, but I guess he probably had never experienced it before lol Hope the charcoal helped! Wishing you a speedy recovery ♥️
Thanks. Yep, its not for softies! Gas pain went on day 3 and then came back again on day 5 ...aaaaargh, today is a better day. If it wasn't for the damn gas I would feel totally normal again.
Sally Redshaw Yeah the gas pain was the worst for me too... Glad you’re feeling better today!
Hey i have this surgery on wednesday. What is this about shoulder pain? I cant believe i havent been told about this
You are a beauty...and informative !!!! Love the accent !! What would you have done prior to the surgery if you were to do it again? Donating part of my liver to my dad. Thanks for the helpful info !!!!
J Doe Oh you’re lovely, thank you! I think I would just do things in a very similar way to last surgery - prepare meals & my sleeping area prior to leaving home for surgery. Staying clear of fizzy drinks & gassy foods. Having Tim around for the first couple of days afterwards really helped. He fetched everything I needed if I didn’t feel like getting up, (was great while it lasted! 😜) What an amazing thing to be doing - wishing you & your dad all the very best!! ♥️
Can you put the heating pad on the site of the incisions I got a laporoscopy yesterday and my stomach is in pain?
I started watching this video right as I chose to lay down for the first time since being discharged and thought "oh, I should be on my back so the gas isn't forced to one side." That VERY MINUTE I got to the part where you talked about sleeping vertically and never on your back. I immediately got into a vertical position and had the worst gas pain in my shoulders. I couldn't really think through the pain but you were going on about a heating pad so I grabbed my husband's and started pacing the kitchen. I've burped like 4 times and the pain is back to where it was (mild) Finding this video at the ABSOLUTE PERFECT TIMING was a complete Godsend. Thank you.
Rebecca Maynes Oh I’m so so glad!!! Hopefully the gas leaves your body quicker being upright and pacing as much as possible. The heat pack helps HEAPS! Wishing you a speedy recovery! 😘
It amazing I just had my done 3 day ago, guys don't be afraid; is not what you think; everything is so smooth 😎
How long did it take for the carbon dioxide/nerve pain to go away? I just had surgery yesterday and it is excruciating. It hurts every time I take a breath due to the carbon dioxide moving around while my lungs inflate. Thank you for all of the tips I’m going to try sleeping elevated tonight since I feel suffocated if I lay flat.
Paige Danielle Sleeping & staying upright as much as possible throughout recovery definitely helped me the second time! After my first lap it took a week or two for the nerve pain to fully go away, but I wasn’t moving around as much as I probably should’ve been. I’m sorry you’re experiencing the carbon dioxide pain- it’s awful! Wishing you a speedy recovery! 🙏🏼
Tim and Celeste thank you!! I’m probably moving around more than I should lol. I should probably listen to my body and slow it down a bit.
Paige Danielle Yes, definitely don’t push yourself, but moving around gently each day while staying elevated will allow the gas to rise & out of your body faster :)
Yes i just got mine today. Very much in pain
It took around 4-5 days for me. I have the same chest pain with breathing and also a lot of shoulder pain. Feel better!! I'm now 1 week post-op and feel almost normal again.
How long gas pain last
Thank you for this video! I’m getting surgery tomorrow morning, so all this advice is very nice ❤️
Ashley9121 Good luck for your surgery tomorrow! Hope you have a speedy recovery 💕
I know it was a year ago but how did your surgery go Ashley? ❤️ hope you are doing better now
Just wanted to point out something I found out about activated charcoal. It can really reduce the efficacy of medicines ( it’s actually used to remove paracetamol/acetaminophen from the body after an overdose on these). Did you take this into account when you started taking them? Just wondered if it affected your drugs or if spacing out when you took them helped with that.
Wilhemina Agyare I honestly didn’t notice a difference, but was trying not to take too much pain medication & charcoal - kept it all to a minimum.
This is helpful!! I am having the surgery on March 1, 2021 due to fibroids. Im a little nervous about it. Im looking forward to getting it over with, taking time off from work and no more aweful periods. I will be looking for these items for recovery. Thanks!!
Just had this surgery a few days ago and my question is- is this severe bloating normal and when does it go away? I feel so crappy but i feel like i look crappy too its a lose lose :( also when were you able to lift things again?
How did it go
Thanks so much for sharing this video - I know it’s an older one but I’m revisiting it because I am having this surgery on Tuesday to have an ovarian tumour removed, and while he’s in there he’s going to flush my tubes and do a few other bits - I’m calling it my uterus service! Haha. I was a bit silly and assumed I would be up and about within a day or so but I’m seeing now I might need to rest a bit longer! I’m definitely going to be following all your tips!
Jackie Maconachie Hope they help! Wishing you a speedy recovery! ♥️
Nobody's saying anything about throat irritation 🙄 gosh I feel like something is stuck at the back of my throat.
Yesssss s the side effects are horrible. I had my procedure two days ago. Thanks for the information.
Linda Glover Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Thanks for the suggestion of using the Active Charcoal tablets!! They're a life saver in regards to absorbing the gas! Thank you thank you thank you!
I'm so glad they helped!! :)
Post surgery- I took 4-5 activated charcoal at a time about 3x a day. GasX doesn't work! Also yoga child's pose (on your knees and bend over) have someone rub your lower back. Pre-Surgery Buy lots of Charcoal caps as you will run out! The pain on a scale of 1-10 is a 27. Thank you for the video it really helped
I also heard the activated charcoal works. I fell asleep in child's pose. It was the only position I could get comfortable. Hope you are well.
GasX doesn’t work
Thank I’m getting this procedure done tomorrow and needed to make sure I’m not in a lot of pain and discomfort
I have mine for endometriosis on Thursday. Was that what yours was for? Does it reduce period pain symptoms?
Lisa Fuller Mine was to see why I wasn’t getting pregnant & why my embryo transfers had failed- they wanted to rule out any issues with my tubes, as well as check for ashermans syndrome. I’m lucky in that I don’t usually get period pain, so I can’t say for sure if it might help with that. Wishing you all the best for Thursday! ♥️
Tim and Celeste you as well! They think the endometriosis is why I also haven’t been able to conceive. Wishing you the best! Hope you one day have a bundle of joy to hold!
Lisa Fuller pid scar tissues?
I had this surgery a week ago now, my back hurts because I’m a side sleeper and no mater wich side I lay on it hurts ☹️ the soreness where my ovary was is quite annoying, but I’m going to try the heat pad at night and during my naps! I also try not to take medications because I don’t like to so I’ve been taking Ibuprofen when needed. And I feel like my emotions were a bit rocky thought that was a bit odd. This video is super helpful. (my ovary story is quite a weird one)
Best wishes on a speedy and full recovery!! My surgery was three weeks ago. My ovaries were the only thing I actually kept. I highly recommend heat therapy to help with pain. In my own experience, it really helped. I did have to take a narcotic for the first few days since it was difficult to maintain my pain in hospital. The normal drugs they use in your IV do not work for me. The gas pain was TERRIBLE for me. I also had a bladder sling and a vaginal wall repair at the same time, so that may also be why I had such severe pain in the beginning. Also, they had to put my Foley back in because I was unable to empty my bladder on my own the first few days. Lucky me, I got to take my Foley home for two days. I think that also had something to do with my pain. One other thing, I was not able to sleep after coming out of the anesthesia. I still have tenderness and occasional discomfort but no real pain. My biggest problem is making myself take it easy. Well, that and the utter boredom. Just when I felt up to walking at the park a front came through and it rained for a few days plus the temps dropped about 20-30 degrees. So it put a damper on my walks. It's a bit depressing because I have gained 10 pounds over the last two weeks 😢. I know I should be able to take it off when I'm able to get back to exercise and working. I'm so glad to see the post hysterectomy exercise videos and watch/listen to ladies on here who can offer good advice. It helps me not feel so alone with all this. Take care of yourself. Happy healing 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Kiara Hinton how long did it take for you to get scheduled for shrgery
Kiara Hinton how long did it take to get scheduled for surgery??
Did you experience any dizziness or lightheadedness after being up for a while walking around? I am having this, today is day 7 after and I get very tired very quickly. Had a cyst removed and fallopian tubes.
I had the surgery Friday and it’s Sunday I’m hurting so bad, my shoulders are killing me. It feels like I have been hit by a truck. Please help I don’t know how to get the gas out
I'm so sorry to hear that. I am headed for mine tomorrow. I'm freaking out :-/
I know this is a month old but I just had my surgery a week ago. I’ve taken Charco Tabs to help w/ gas pain but the only thing that really helped was the heating pads. I slept with one on my side and one on my shoulder.
How long before you go back to work? I don't do hard work but alot of bending and reaching as I make breakfast, cleaning and sticking at hotel.
Cassandra S I was off work for a few days. Good luck!
Thanks for the great tips, I’m scheduled to have surgery in two weeks and I’m looking up so many tips. I was wondering where did you get your heat pad?
I'm getting this procedure done tomorrow 😭🥺
I had mine 2 days ago. It isn’t as bad as I thought. I asked the person who put me to sleep to give me some anti Anxiety shot. It helped me out a lot. I’m slightly sore where they did the procedure & a bit bruised at those sites. You’re gonna be fine baby girl. ❤️
@@aliviaguynes1401 ❤❤
How long do its takes until j can run again competief
Henriette Weeber I asked my doctor the same question 😀. I just came home from surgery today and this gas nerve pain is no joke. Time for a Pain pill
I had this surgery a week ago, is painful to get up yes and you need help you shouldn’t try to do it on your own, i had a lot of pain bcus of the air trapped so milk of magnesia help me poop with less pain and once i went to bathroom i felt better and better. Besides the air trapped I don’t have any other pain, going to bathroom just to pass air is painful as hell , i feel like the surgery was in my behind. The other thing that help me is a binding wrap type of thing I bought in amazon , hugs you is womderful.
After surgery my mistake was not sleeping in a setting position then the gas caused a severe pain in my left shoulder that I wasn’t able to breathe well and I wasn’t able to cry cause it’s too much pain that moment I really wanted to die believe me it was huge pain and short breaths .. but my nurse was very helpful and caring she advised me to sleep in setting position which helped me too much to reduce the pain as gas goes down.
Share every one their experience no one told the anesticia pipes hurted throwt after one day surjery caugh started the stitches pain worest how to control caugh please say about this
I am on week 3 post op from removal of ovarian cyst surgery...I am still sore, from getting up from bed or pulling my car door, or bending down, have a very busy 3 yr old. Was only able to rest two weeks then had to move a little more every day, this week I had to start driving didn’t have an option.. but my body still seems sore and tired, especially if standing for a long time...do you think is normal to feel my body still sore around incisions?
How long did it take you to start driving with out a problem? I wonder if because I am a little heavy is why I haven’t fully recovered? 🤔
Your size won't impact recovery. It's more to do with your hormones, immune system, and general health.
I have no appetite and it post op day 2 and i been able to keep liquids down will I gain my appetite back ?
Guess my 21-pound cat isn't going to be able to stretch out on my tummy!
Anytime i felt chest pain i try to seat up and walk a little and the air trapped would come out.
That’s a good idea thanks for sharing. Hope you are doing better now ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I just had this surgery today and the carbon dioxide gas pain is intense. I will defiently be sleeping elevated. It's been helping alot!
I can't believe how painful this post op is. My surgeon was like you'll be all good and back to your life in no time. I felt like I had been stabbed by a box cutter
Oh my God its soooooo painful feels like someone is stabbing you the worst part is gas. I have been advised to take shower to desolve the stitches but I can’t even get in tub
Had laproscopic surgery 2 weeks ago had period after 2 days of surgery still have brown discharge is it normal??????
Try herbal medications from Dr Mabosa herbal on RUclips he can help you
Is there a good way to get in and out of bed without too much pain or strain on the stitches?
Kelsey Hock When I was in bed I was practically propped upright/sitting most of the time, so when I needed to get out of bed I would just slowly slide myself out using my arms. Good luck & wishing you a speedy recovery!
Thank you for these tips! I'm a stomach sleeper too so I wondered how long it took you to get back onto your belly? I have such a hard time sleeping any way but on my stomach. Thank you!
lockergr It took a couple of weeks from memory! I slept upright for a while, then on my back - felt so good sleeping comfortably again! Hope you’re able to soon!
Tim and Celeste Thank you... still just in the planning stages myself, but thanks!
lockergr Pleasure! Good luck with it all :)
Me too a stomach sleeper, can't do it yet, but I look forward for those good days to come back
@@vibes811 Wishing you luck on your recovery. I still haven't gone through with my surgery, but the time is nearing, as the bulk is no fun.
I got intense back and shoulder pain from the gas. I didn't know sleeping upright was better for me. I'm going to sleep upright for a night or two. I barely got my surgery done 3 days ago and I was wondering what I could do for the pain, thank you Celeste
Hope it helped and the back and shoulder pain didn't last too much longer! It's the worst! x
Thanks for video I just had surgery yesterday but in too much pain from gas, to night I'm sleeping upright thank you
Did you experience bloating? How long and what did you do to recover
i had an emergency laparoscopic appendectomy two days ago and they only gave me 10 oxycodone pills. I'm scared for when I run out :(
I got like 20 oxys and I had my surgery not this past Sunday but last Sunday. I stopped taking the oxys four days after the surgery because I didn’t feel any pain
Tim and Celeste, thank you so much for sharing your story any tips. I’m on day 5 recovery post laparoscopy and hysteroscopy (having problems getting pregnant and running out of ideas).I had a cyst, few polips and Endo removed. Not sure what the future holds but staying positive!
I owe my speed recovery to your advise of charcoal, peppermint tea and sleeping elevated. Thank you again and sending you lots of positivity and kind wishes x Kamila, London
Been where you are. Kami, I will pray you are blessed with a child. One tip rarely discussed is a low carb diet (even Ketogenic). Removing sugar in all it's forms, including high starch foods that easily covert to sugar (potatoes, rice, bread) has been helpful in some people. Google "low-carb diet for infertility" and research! Good luck!
kami25kamila Hi Kamila, sorry for the delayed reply - I’ve only just seen your comment. I’m so glad my tips helped speed up your recovery! And sounds like your surgery was a productive one, with the removal of cysts, polips and endo. Fingers crossed your precious baby won’t be far away now! X
I had a surgery a week ago and my cyst was about 8.22cm but was already ruptured when the did laparosopic surgery still get dizzy if I stand up morethan 5mins and slight headache and gas in my belly 😩 gradually decreasing only my umbilical incision still hurts
I know this was 9 months ago but how are you feeling now Rachel?
@@annomaly751 thanks for asking much better. Fully recovered just don't know if I will ever be able to have kids again as I discovered later that my Ovary was mistakenly removed during operation 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I just had a tossed ovary taken out that had a cyst on it ..it was painful..now I’m sore ..so that’s why I’m watching this stuff ..I’m really groggy and I have gas atm
Thanks so much for the helpful info!!!
I had surgery 2 days ago. I feel like hell. That gas pain is the worst!
It sure is. Im 24 hrs in and i can barely walk
My latest problem has been constipation. Please take stool softeners and stuff to help you go. My last two days I would have been more than fine if I could have just went to the bathroom but instead I've been curled over in pain with belly aches! Start taking them now!
@@Ksklarge1 yea i just drank some Fiber which normally helps me.
I took 4 laxatives over three days and they didn't help me at all. All they made me do was cramps so bad. Finally had the hubby just get me some prune juice and I've been sippin on that and finally was able to go. I definitely think the fiber is better than the laxatives LOL
The pain meds, the charco tabs, and the nauseation meds all cause constipation and I was taking all three! It was a cocktail of a storm!
You also look so amazing
im 4 days post op and the shoulder chest and rib pain is unbearable when i get up . Any idea how long it takes to end?
I am 4 days post op also and still going nuts with the collar bone and shoulder pain. In the same boat. Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you! I'm not sure but hopefully not too much longer. 🙂
I was wondering how long did it take for y’all to get relief from the gas pains? I am on 4 days post op.
@@dianabo3014 mine took about a week
@@amarahn5722 Thank you so much for responding. This pain is horrible! What did you do to ease the pain?
I had a laparoscopy when I was 19 for endometriosis. My surgery was on a Friday and I went back to school monday. Was still quite sore but I didn't want to miss school and risk academic probation.
How long did it take you to fully heal?
Ashley Nicole The incisions took around 2-3 weeks. I was feeling back to normal about 10 day’s post surgery :)
Well I’m sitting here reading up website and all the comments I just got out of surgery four days ago and this gas pain is horrible or I should say pain from the gas my left side up to my left shoulder really hurts to breathe I have not heard about the charcoal yet since coming here I am wondering if I should try it I had no idea the surgery would be this painful it was a laparoscopic Nissan fundoplication. You really inspired me and helped me
It is now day seven feeling quite a bit better and on my way to recovery
Bill Julian did you try the charcoal
Thank you for your great tips. Just had gallbladder lap about 5 days ago. The gas pain has been intense. I slept mostly upright in hospital but it didn’t seem to help with gas much. Neither did walking. It might be that I had a second procedure, an ECRP, I think, the following day. Definitely trying the charcoal tablets. You’re the second person I’ve seen on RUclips describing how well they work. Thank you again.
Philip Molangi No worries- hope they work for you! Wishing you a speedy recovery!
The worst part for me is that my skin hurts. A few inches below my belly button, and not even on an incision, for a few inches across my skin is so very hypersensitive. The only thing I can compare it to is when you have a splinter and you run your finger over it, it makes the whole area around it hurt (not deep... just the skin.) it started 8 days post op and i'm 10 days now. This is by far the worst part.
blank Interesting! Have you asked your doctor about what could be causing that? Have never heard of that before... Hopefully it disappears for you soon!
I’m experiencing the same feeling in the same area.
blank I felt the same exact thing! I was told by the nurse in recovery that it’s nerve pain because the carbon dioxide surgeons use causes cellular death.
I had this done on Tuesday. I took 1/2 a pain killer the first night and then didn't take any more.
I am in so much pain I don’t know what to do I have a heating pad and ice pack and gas pill and laxatives nothing is working fine just want this pain to go away
Am with you Britt! Gonna follow these tips and see how it goes.
ruclips.net/video/CXF6SjGjnk0/видео.html
Just watched this and thought it was very helpful. It’s day 7 post but still struggling with so much sharp and shooting pain. Hope this helps you too
Did you get nauseous or vomit at all?? I'm terrified of vomiting and I'm getting this surgery in 4 days. Thank you so much!!
Talk to your nurses and hopefully you'll get reassurance. It sometimes happens, really depends on the anaesthetic used and how you react to it. Which you can't tell until after the surgery. I had one GA in the past (dental surgery), no nausea after. With my laparoscopy, I did have some nausea but I told the nurse and got an antiemetic through the IV cannula. Thankfully due to fasting there is not much that will come up anyway!
All the best for a successful surgery and recovery, sending lots of positivity your way!
I threw up 3 times after surgery. Twice in the hospital and once at home.
I have mine next month and I don’t deal with pain very well so I’m very scared. Thank you for these tips xx
Hollie Benson Not everyone get the nerve pain caused by the gas, so hopefully you’re one of them! I definitely found my second lap less painful and a quicker recovery doing these things. Good luck! Xx
I had mine at 4 August 3:25 pm (20mm multiple stones) and it is almost 1 week and I'm still feeling little pain and weakness coz my platelets count is low but I'm healing slowly and now I'm going to remove my stitches, hope I'll be fine.
Thank you for sharing! I had a myomectomy 4 years ago and recently been experiencing more bloating and inflammation in the area of my surgery. I’m now experiencing horrific gas symptoms after a full bladder. The gas shoots up into my lower, up GI track and into my left chest area. I’m unable to sleep flat. I’ve done all the tests and ultrasounds on the pelvic area. Not sure if anyone else has experienced uncomfortable gas pain in the evenings post surgery? Would activated charcoal help at this point?
Love it! Great tips. You and I are pros at this by now haha ❤️
I just had mine on Tuesday 13th June discharged next day I am pretty much recovering on my own and I feel horrible and think I’ve got a kidney infection so now I gotta ring the GP Monday 😢
My daughter is with her Arizona State water polo team in Cranulla Beach this week. She is in LOVE with Sydney! She turns 20 on Jan 4th and is trying to figure out how to get a work VISA so she can live there for a couple years. Any advice Celeste?
Lynn Kays I’m sorry I never replied! Happy very belated Birthday to your daughter! Glad to hear she’s loving Sydney. Wish I could give you advice on work visas, but I don’t want to give you any incorrect information.. I’m sure you’ve already figured it all out by now anyway! :)
It’s been 6days since my surgery I feel really good getting improved but I need to know if I can start eating normally Iv been craving so much food (im on my period) and I don’t know if I can eat junk food like not to much but probably like chips or chocolate I had one last night I felt fine but I don’t want to go overboard please need a answer
If you see my comment I'm having stomach scope surgery on Tuesday through my belly button I'm nervous
After 20 days of lapro, i am having sever itching in belly button from past 3 days, but no discharge,
How did you not know about electric heating pads? I bet it changed your life lol. It's a must for me.
I just got this surgery done! Not gonna lie it’s worst feeling ever! I’m not taking pain killers tho it’s not my thing. Hopefully it goes away sooner 🙏 it’s only my 2nd day.
Thanks for the info I'm pretty nervous about my hystercospy and laroscopy surgery I'm getting in 2 days .. I have a low tolerance for pain 😪.. so I'm very nervous about this.. its my first surgery and I had many cysts and polyps and endometriosis.. I have alot of pain.. my uterus having issues.. so they're going to see what's going on with me and my extreme pain
This is your story not what others need to do
The pain in my shoulders after this type of surgery is completely unbearable it’s worse than the actual incision it’s awful nothing is helping
On a scale from 1to 10 I’m at a 12
I had my laparoscopy today and the only pain I’ve had was a bit of gas under my ribs I can fee where they got rid of some endometriosis the incisions don’t hurt at all!
You are fab! Sending hugs and prayers your way Xx
sandra michelle Thank you! Xx

Thank you for sharing this! I had my laparoscopy on Tuesday. I’ve been up and down but today I have a lot of pain in and around my bellybutton 😔 I haven’t had the shoulder pain though thankfully
How it go, my belly is hurting generally around the belly button, and I haven't had my bowel movement its been 2 or 3 days after surgery and I'm in pain, also nauseous.
so far my first day i have no gas pain? is that normal? should i expect gas pain later down the road? i slept on my back last night and felt perfectly fine. I actually didn't even wake up once and slept a full 9 hours.
I had feel that gas problem it was terrible..!! I wish I have get chance to watch this before my surgery.
I am still having pain around my bellybutton. Any suggestions for that?? Its been 6day of my surgery.
This has just come up on my RUclips to watch. I can't believe you are now expecting your little miracle. Amazing . Hope to see a bump video x
How long your gas pain last
Thank you so much!
My shoulder is killing me ..
Sueann Valenzuela It’s the worst... Hope it didn’t linger for too many days!
Tim and Celeste ty .. this is one day 4 I’m getting better but still a lil sore..I love your video ty !
Where can I get those things
I'm day 5 post laprascopic sleve gastrectomy (had it on May 22). I had zero pain. Zero. Why, these are my thoughts. I am fit, very fit. I trained hard in the gym and the pool. I swam 60 km in the 6 weeks leading to the surgery. 25 mins per km. I went into theatre as fit as I could possibly be, and I believed that helped. 24 hrs after the surgery, i was doing laps of the ward, I had a little diaphram pain from throwing up(which is normal for me) but no real wound pain. I'm sitting here day 5, feeling great, soreness has gone, just have a couple of scratches on my chest that are healing well. I'm walking a couple of km a day, not pushing hard but a good clip.I was a little sore diaphram wise, not pain as such but stiffness like at night in the cold air. So I can only say, the better condition you are in, the fast your body expells the C02. BTW post op you have to move, get walking. Once you start farting, that the sign your bosy is expelling the Co2. Hope this helps. key word....Pre-hab.....just as important as re-hab.
The doctor said Co2 is expelled through the lungs, not the intestines.
