my sugery was yesterday at 8:30am and everything went really well. I'm worried because the doctor said they'd be taking my morphine pump away today and I'm in a ton of pain when I move or bend.  Looking for reassurance from anyone....  Thanks!

When they took mine away I was having a lot of burning but they gave me liquid pain meds and sent me home with liquid pain med...when I think back, it's actually one of the easiest surgeries I have ever had considering it's considered a major surgery...They won't just "hang you out to dry" they will give you something!

Welcome to the loser's bench 

I never had a pain pump but was on IV stuff the first day.  A lot of the pain can be from gas and that only goes away with lots and lots of walking.

Liquid pain meds will do the job. They're pretty strong.

Thanks everybody!  I'm feeling much better today and not so worried.
