My first laparoscopy 6 months ago was a walk in the park compare to this. I was able to eat and wee straight away, wasn’t in that much pain and my throat barely hurt.
I had surgery again yesterday and this time round I couldn’t eat or wee for ages, kept nearly being sick and struggled to breathe due to all of the rib pain. My throat hurt a tiny teeny bit yesterday but it really really hurts today and I’m actually struggling to swallow because of it. I can’t take tablets with it like this 😭 (I am feeling very sorry for myself)
I know everyone is different but I’m just wondering how long your throat hurt for so at least I get some sort of idea.
Hi hun, my throat was bad after surgery but it settled down in a few days, its just where the tube was. keep taking the pain killers and hopefully things will be better in a few days, I had lots of ice cream - its cold and moves down your throat easily, try that hun xx hope you feel better soon.
Since writing this it’s eased a little but I still can’t take any tablets 😭 I’m going to try again later 🤞🏼 I don’t have any ice cream but if it’s still bad tomorrow then I’m definitely getting some. I am sure I didn’t have a sore throat last time so I assumed it would be the same this time round. (How wrong was I?!)
I have no appetite at all and half of my upper lip is one huge ulcer from where they rammed the tube in. I’m having a great time recovering 🤦🏻♀️
Oh bless you. Yes lip issues and throat issues seem to go hand in hand with surgery. I hope you feel a bit better tomorrow. Try and rest x
