7 days Post Op

I am 7 days post op and have been doing good until today and have had pain in my right side, close to incision site. I was wondering if it was hernia related also. I still have upper abd distention/little pain and back ache today, with little nausea,  have called my MD and awaiting call back. I am drinking ok. getting in close to fluid amt and protein amt each day. Any suggestions/comments/help would be appreciated.

It's very normal, I had pain off and on for 3 months, you had major surgery, so you have to give yourself time to heal. I know I was also very sensitive to touch around my incisions for about the same time some days are better then others. Also takeing pain meds, can stop you from haveing a BM and that will cause pain, so ask your doctor about stool softeners. At lest to get you moveing so to speek. Wishing you the best!
