The gas pain was horrendous!! Especially in the shoulders!
Gas pain still here 12 days post opp how long did it take for you?
Shit, i’m just going thru it now and thought it was something i pulled in my shoulder area!😣😒
@@michaeln8954 it took a good solid 14 days for the pain to go away
I’m on day 2 of gas pain :(
Im going through that horrendous gas pain day 2 horrible feeling😞
Btw, to avoid gas pain my nurse told me to never lay down flat. I've been sleeping with pillows behind me and never turning into my sides and standing up and slowly sitting back down and it's helping with the gas a lot, it still hurts but it's a lot better than at first.
I've had about 10 laparoscopic surgeries and I can tell you, they are all painful. I love it when doctors think they know how much pain you are having. Pain varies person to person. It's not a democracy where majority wins. Just because some people say it's not that painful doesn't mean the next person won't be in significant pain from the exact same procedure. Sadly this has led to people having to suffer and be in agony because some doctor thinks otc pain meds will be sufficient pain relief for everybody. I have never and will never have a surgery where my doctor and I have not fully discussed post op pain control. And if a doctor were to tell me that they will not be prescribing what I deem sufficient, I will go find a different doctor. Drug addicts be damned..there's no reason anyone in this day in age should have to fight for pain relief.
You are heard.
When were you able to sleep on your side after the surgery please answer me I just did the surgery two weeks ago
@@leenalshami6768 i also in week 2, still feel a little pain when trying to sleep on side.
Essential oils for digestion on my shoulder helped with the trapped gas pain for me. Didn't take it away completely, but took the edge off so I could sleep. I hope you are done with surgeries.
I still have pain in the belly button area after one year of laproscopic it hurts like hell.
I've had this surgery done 4 days ago and I'm amazed with how well I'm feeling. Of course I don't feel 100% yet, but I can walk around and do most basic things again. I'm sure within 2 weeks I'm back like it never happened! Thank you to all these medical professionals for continuing to advance these procedures!!!
I had appendicitis and this procedure saved my life. I'm currently on day 3 of recovery and I have energy again. My best tip for healing from this surgery is to stay hydrated and rest, don't over work your body.
I just had appendicitis and laparoscopy 2 days ago . And its my 2 days recovery from it
I just got 2 incisions from laparoscopy to treat endometriosis YESTERDAY and I already walked 2 miles and haven't taken any painkillers. It's been a little painful, but not enough to take meds. I just walk slow and honestly I've been functioning and doing everything normal already. I feel great! 24 hours after surgery, I already went to the hair salon and dyed my hair LOL But I should note that I am a generally very healthy 22 year old already... if you have other health conditions, you may heal differently.
When were you able to sleep on your side please answer me
I’m about to get the surgery for the exact same thing I’m really nervous
I had 4 incisions plus they went up my vag, I'm 5 days post op and I'm crook, I can't sit up as yet.
❤🎉❤
🎉
I had my surgery 6days ago. I can not walk properly and its still very painful for me. A feeling of someone is beating me in my belly on my left side.
Healing and fast recovery to All 🙏
How do you feel now? Recovery tips?
@@autumnvalley just relax.
I received unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy at 23yrs old due to a cyst on my ovary. Doctor drained 2.4 gallons plus a decent amount of blood, weighed a grand total of 20lbs. Said it was the largest cyst he had ever seen. My abdomen is still extremly tender one week post op. But at least I don't look pregnant anymore. Now I can live without constant fatigue
Im on my 3rd day post laparoscopic surgery. Oh the pain
SAme with me.
I had this done 5 days ago(Double Hernia)......
I'd say the pain level is very tolerable....about a 5 and that's only during movement,not resting.
I'd say it feels like being punched in the stomach but again......the pain isn't constant.
I've heard all about gas pain in the shoulders but I myself experienced none.
I had no shoulder pain either.
The gas and slow digestive tract hurts like crazy, I had two episodes last night where it felt like the trapped gas was going to break a rib. Made the shoulder pain seem like nothing. I’m day 4 post-op and feeling horrible. Following all instructions of moving a lot, drinking plenty and taking gas /constipation meds, but nothing and feeling really grim. Incision pain is a breeze though feels like a sore muscle.
Yes, it can be painful for sure. The abdominal gas pain against the diaphragm hurts and makes deep breaths difficult. Your shoulder and neck will hurt due to irritated nerves in your abdomen and diaphragm. I’m on the day after surgery and still in a fair amount of gas pain. It sucks.
I had my appendix removed almost 24 hours ago. I left the hospital 6 hours after the procedure. I had a c-section 10 months ago and the experience is completely different. Recovery has been so much easier. I was up and walking (slowly) within a couple hours.
I had laparoscopic bowel surgery a few weeks ago. The recovery certainly wasn’t without pain but beats the heck out of open surgery
how are you doing now? i'm going in for a laproscopic small bowel resection in three weeks. i just want everything to go smoothly. anxiety is probably getting to me because i've never had a surgery before.
@@jeremyd2061 hope your surgery went okay!
I have a gall bladder stones with 15.5mm and I'm very scaring, of i will surgery with laproscopy is it painful or not and what will effect my lifestyle and diet in future'
Had mine operation yesterday. My ribs are in pain and can't breathe .behing my ribs wall hurts so much..what is going on whybdo I feel so unwell. Scared my liver pr kidney have infection or worse 😢
Done mine yesterday left and right ovarian cyst it's good not painful to me.
But the doctor informed me the handle of the tools was missing but they make sure its not inside in my tummy because I had x-ray twice.
Had laparoscopic surgery 5 days ago, the gas pain continues. It’s more uncomfortable than the pain from incisions… have been able to walk but experiencing constant fatigue, a trip to the bathroom feels like a marathon. I’m 35 and usually do a lot of running, cycling etc …if you’re someone who has an active lifestyle, you are bound to experience more suffering..
I need a sports hernia surgery soon. I hear taking GasX when you wake up from the surgery helps a ton. How are you feeling now?
Just had it two days ago and it's horrible.
@@thebayareastandout wishing you a speedy recovery
@@ashishnalavade9244 what's interesting is that I can see that by me laying on one side the gas seeped to favor one side so now I can literally see how my left side ribs stomach and waist are more bloated and painful than the right side and when I touch the left side skin it feels like Jello or something is underneath
How are you doing? Any recovery tips?
I have so much muscle pain. And my doctors think iam insane. They seem to not know about this. They dont take me serious. Cramps every day now very painful
I had laparoscopic surgery and was sent home with oxycodone and an antibiotic
I had a hysteroscopy, endometrial ablation, laparoscopy done on Monday and everything hurts. I woke this morning to see blood on my bandage the nurse put over the glued area yesterday. Not sure if I should be concerned 😢
i had surgery 2 day before and Im in pain😢i cant even move properly
Csection?
My mother is getting little yellowish discharge from vagina and its 12th day of her hysterectomy leproscopy. Is it normal????? She is getting max 10 drops of that yellowish liquid
I had a laparoscopy done a year and 7 months ago. I woke up from the operation and I couldn’t breath and had a major pain on my right bottom abdominal. I can’t touch my lower stomach it hurts so much. I’m not sure if I should go for another laparoscopy to see what the problem is 😭
Yes. I’ve had 2 and they were both painful.
I’m on day 3 of recovery and the first two days were BRUTALLY painful. Now the pain is manageable but I still need pain meds. I still have a bloated tummy as well. Moving around is possible but painful after 3-5 minutes
Were you on pain meds the first two days? I was told it’s manageable if you alternate Tylenol and Ibuprofen every 3 hours.
@@yumyumgimmesum i was on pain meds for the first week out of the hospital.
Hes making it seem as though it's a breeze when it's far from it..
For me it was a breeze...... Back to 100% in just 3 weeks
It’s hell. I love how they sugarcoat.
Agreed, 5 days and I still scream sitting or standing. Very large bruises around the incisions.
I had a laparoscopic nephrectomy 17 days ago, I was discharged 30 hours after surgery so I could go home to recover (much better place to be), the shoulder pain from the gas is very uncomfortable and took 2-3 days to dissipate. As for pain and discomfort that is very subjective (everyone has their own threshold), I used paracetamol to alleviate the pain and yesterday had a minor bleed/weeping so had to go to my GP surgery to have a dressing put on the main incision area. But healing is going well, I still look like I’m about to have twins but the bruising has reduced dramatically. Many thanks to all the staff at Exeter NHS Wonford. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
thanks for your video, I had a laparoscopy surgery two weeks ago, can i start my work out? please suggest
Hello! To speak with Mr Clarke, you can book a consultation via his profile: bit.ly/2PMosXc.
Is it painful?
@@prasnavallikkunnu1054 No it was not, since Doctor was given Anesthesia, but day 2 & 3, there was neck pain due to Anesthesia
@@Hiirfi thankui
@@Hiirfi now are you completely ok?any pain ?
Am on the 6th day after my laparoscopic myomectomy surgery, and I would say the pain is bearable with pain killers.
I could walk, dress, bend down, take a shower on the second day.
I didn’t have any soar throat from the tubes inserted down my throat.
The gas in the stomach and the bloating is the uncomfortable part for me.
And because of that, it feels uncomfortable sleeping flat on the bed, so I sleep on my sofa which has a bit of an incline , that way my back is a bit uplifted.
Overall it is wayyyy less painful than I expected it to be.
i had an laparoscopic surgery before 2 months in my left knee but whenever I didnt take painkillers for just one day the pain is insane that I can't barely even stand is this normal to feel pain like this ? i even did exercises that my surgeon and physiotherapist taught me but I'm suffering from pain mannn I'm depressed af🙂
Right after dis charge from the surgery this morning the gas pain was so strongscreened on my way home made a u turn to the hospital to sit in ER for 3hours. When I realized what it was that I wasn’t warned of we left the ER. I couldn’t get ahold of my doctor. I
Essential oils that are used for digestion really helped me. I just rubbed it on my shoulder. Didn't take the pain away completely, but it took the edge off so I could sleep.
I had laparoscopy surgery a year ago. And sometimes i feel a bit pain inside my wound. Can someone tell me if it is normal or not? By the way the weather here is starting to cold maybe that is ine of the reason why it's hurting?
입니당탄탄 I don’t think that’s normal but I do have a friend who feel pain sometime still and she had hers removed like 7 years ago
There will always be pain in the wound since its healing try talking this out with your doctor he or she would give you some medication
These pains are common but not frequent.
They're better known as "Ghost Pains"
Very tolerable and only temporary.
We know laparoscopic heals faster, laparoscopic Roux en y is ANYTHING BUT PAINLESS.
But what about the spread of potential cancer (1 in 350 according to a UNC study I read) when cutting up the fibroids for removal? Or can ones 4.5cm or smaller like that come out whole?I feel the benefits of the laparoscopic procedure are nullified if there is a risk of cancer spreading and winding up with a stage IV and then you're out of luck. What do you tell patients concerned about this element?
I seriously have never heard about women getting cancer after a hysterectomy due to uterine fibroids. Fibroids are not cancerous there just benign tumours made up of collagen and muscle.
@@Future_Ghost76 It wouldn't be after, it would be that they already have it. That is why they test for cancer by scraping the uterine lining before doing a hysteromy. But yes, you can have an unseen cancer.
Thanks Sir
Oh the gas... The GAS. Trapped wind pills helped a tonne though.
Just had the surgery last night almost 16 hours ago I am home drinking water and eating fruit dam
I'm having 1 and I'm very nervous
They told me about it for my Fibroids today. I'm so nervous too.
Carolyn Cooper ... I’m having surgery in a few hours, I too have fibroids and is being checked for endometriosis.
Please share ladies, was the experience that awful..? I'm having one next Monday I'm so scared can't sleep !
THEMBISLE Msiza .... hey Msiza, as stated above I had surgery last Tuesday and it is now day 5 of recovery. I was able to resume normal activities (besides sex) on day 4. The first two days after surgery I had soreness in my rib/ abdominal area when breathing because of the CO2 gas. Currently there is little vaginal spotting and minor pain around the incisions depending on my movements. Otherwise I feel great. My surgery consisted of laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and D&C. Also this has been my 3rd laparoscopy surgery in over a span of 20yrs, so the recovery I’m experiencing seems normal to me.... During recovery I would suggest deep breathing exercises every so often (even though it hurts), hot tea or broth for any throat pain, and short distance walks (from one room to another) throughout the days....Try not to rely on meds for the pain (but I know everyone pain tolerance is different), I took naproxen for the first 2 recovery days then no more afterwards, I was also prescribed Percocet which I didn’t even bother to get filled. I hope this was helpful, good luck with your surgery and recovery
Ooh thank you so very much dear, your clarity makes perfect sense. I'll try relax, stop overthinking it and take all advices, get home and heal, come back with feedback. being a woman thou....
Drink mint water throughout no gas issues also lying sideways..
Let me answer that for you. YES! It's painful. But you know what's worse? Becoming pregnant and being stuck with a kid forever.
What a horrendously stupid comment.
"Stuck"?
Hysterectomies are done to often .you end up worse off
Really?
No you don’t
First Nation totally agree
No
Big claim, where's ur evidence
