You are so soon after surgery in terms of the healing process. It takes your body at least 6 weeks to heal. But unfortunately, the adhesions begin to regrow within hours of surgery.
But if this pain is very intense, you do need to have an ultrasound and see a doctor. Did you have this pain before your surgery or is it new? Are you scheduled for a post-op appointment soon?
On the brighter side, it seemed to take my bowels quite a while after surgery to adjust to being free once again! They had been distorted for so long, they just didn't know what to do! You can always e-mail me at living@nwlink.com anytime.
