This hurts way more than I thought

I am 6 days out from a panni surgery. I have had a couple of surgeries in my past, but this one is knocking me on my ass. I don't think anyone could have told me about how much this was going to hurt. I am sure I will look back in about a month and be happy. Right now I am in pain...

Sorry you are hurting.

i remember that my tummy tuck hurt worse than I thought but it was so worth it.

It helped me to take a Benadryl with my pain meds.  It helped me sleep better and when I slept I was not in pain.

take care, it gets better!!!

Thank you for Honestly sharing your experience. I am sorry you are in so much pain. I hope you find some relief soon. I plan to have lbl surgery the beginning of next year, and am worried about the pain and drains even though I know I will be glad I had the surgery. Take care! Wishing you a speedier recovery!

Talk to your doc about better pain management options. I had my arms, BL/BA, LBL with an anchor cut and long thigh lift on 11/16 and while i'm not exactly comfortable, the pain isn't that bad. You dont have to suffer!

I'm 4 weeks out today from my abdominoplasty, I will say that first week was .hell. but it got better as each day went on! I stopped taking the narcotic pain meds around day 10/11 during the day and took them at night before bed because my pain intensified at night....I did that for a few days. I have not taken them in two weeks. I've taken an occasional Tylenol if I've had pain.



I can't wrap my head around the people that boast they have "no pain" because I just don't see how that's even possible. This is a painful recovery! It DOES hurt, but it DOES get better



Hang in there!!

I am so glad to find your post. I am 10 days out and in pain at night. The meds help. I tried to sleep on my bed but had to head back to the couch after waking up in severe discomfort and pain. During the day I am good just get tired quickly.

I'm sorry to hear you're hurting so much! Been there doing that but not horrible.

I'm 3 weeks post op and to be honest, I didnt have hardly any pain the first 2 weeks because I was on a strict pain med schedule! Now that I'm weined off the Norco...oh my....OUCH.  

I hope you get your pain under control and can get some rest!
