What was the most pain in your surgery?

[evit]

I've had a tummy tuck surgery done and I can hardly say I felt any pain. The only thing I remember being bad was when the nurse "inserted" the thing where your sleeping medicine is put in and so on.. (Don't know how to say that in English :-). The thing that's connected to your blood stream for some time, you know!

I'm having another surgery on 10th of June where my gyne will, hopefully, be fixed. I'll have lipo & excision, and ALSO have some lipo done on my hips.

So back to my question, what was the most pain you felt in your surgery..?

"IV catheter" is probably what you were looking for.

In my case I had serious pain in the lipo area just minutes after they woke me up.  One shot of demerol and I was A-OK from that moment on.  Sore afterwards, but never real pain.  Still, that didn't stop me from enjoying the pleasures of vicodin.

No real pain, honestly. I was pretty shocked at how little pain(none) I've had afterwards and up to this point(5 days post op). Leaves me with a whole bottle of Lortab to use.... *cough*

Getting the drains removed. That was pretty sore.

Wearing the binder in this weather. Itchy as hell.

I just had my op done today and my chest feels really bruised and this damn compression vest is so god damn annoying to wear.

you can take vicodin for the pain.

that damn pain in the ass vest you just have to deal with.

I felt a little sore and the vest was itchy, but that's normal.

trying to sleep was the worst as i had to lay on my back ... impossible

Getting the drains removed. That was pretty sore.

I first read, "Getting the brains removed".  

Yeah, when they removed the drains. Not so much painful per  se, just annoying. I could easily feel them yanking them out and then hear slight "blob" when they came off. I also felt some fluids running down my side. Urgh.

After the surgery I had some slight pain for the next two hours. After that no pain really.

Paying for it!

No seriously, one of the drains stung like hell, and I could feel the path it came out of burning for about 2 days afterwards (but only vaguely through the co-codamol). Didn't notice the second, but I was still smarting from the first one.

It wasn't enough to make me cry though. Unlike the bill!

So far my operation has been nearly painless, just all togther sore. Much like everyone else, the vest is itchy and thre is a lot of inital swelling brusing but after 3 days I feel pretty good.

[focoman]

Based on the fact that the pain was relatively minimal would it be unrealistic to return to work within 3 days....ie: surgery friday, work monday?

if everything goes jake then this should be possible, as long as you have an office type job.

My surgery was surprisingly painless. I was barley sore afterward also.
