I’m in so much pain nearly 2 weeks after lap

[KimPV]

Hi guys so I had a lap on the 12th and the last few days have been getting worse pain wise, pain in the whole of back and upper abdominal and where the removal of a mass was taken ( expecting that one) and also today my belly button feels like someone is squeezing it really hard to the point I threw up... I had an awful passing of poop tmi sorry the other day and was I agony.. I know I’m older and recovery isn’t as quick anymore but the pain is everyday all day I feel so ill, now I’m throwing up with belly button pain too. Any advice?

Thanks all x

So sorry you're suffering so much. Do you think you should go to A&E incase you've got an infection or at least you give you peace of mind?

Being constipated isn't good - I hadn't taken any precautions either and struggled so if I were to go through this again, I'd def start taking Lactulose early on to avoid that discomfort. I

'm 4.5 weeks in and getting better slowly - I still have sharp pains but I'm hoping they're temporary. We're not given enough information about the internal healing process imo!

Take it easy and please do seek advice. x

I’d agree in getting medical advice and ruling out anything like infection.

I got constipated after lap and was prescribed Laxido. Out of hours GP happened to be a gynaecologist as well, I was lucky. This was probably three weeks after surgery and pain was horrendous.

Hope it’s nothing much.
