well going into hospital tomorrow for surgery on friday. feeling very nervous. bit worried about pain after i can be a bit of a woose at times i keep thinking it cant be any worse than childbirth, ha ha. the hand wringing has started must focus.
 
If it helps I only had pain for the day of the op and the day after. By the time I was home I was pain free. In the hospital they keep an eye on your pain and will give you lots of lovely drugs to keep you pain free!

You may get pain from trapped wind. I didn't get this after my bypass but did get it after another surgery a few months ago, and it's not nice! You can treat it with gripe water, peppermint tea, deflatine, and best of all, moving around.
 
oooo good luck hunni! you ll be fine, exciting stuff let your journey begin hey xx
 
Oh Kay hope it all goes really really well. I'll say a little prayer for you.
Charis xx
 
Good Luck! :wavey:
 
Don't worry Kay, i don't think it's worse than childbirth! Take the pain relief immediately post op but it soon wears off to a feeling of uncomfortableness. To be honest my stomach felt heavy, unlike the usual softness it is, and uncomfortable but that was it. You just need to be kind to yourself and rest as much as possible while still pottering around the house when you can :)
