I completely agree! Now when I have any procedures done I make sure to take "Phazyme Gas and Acid Relief" daily for the gas pain! It is the one OTC gas relief I have found to work super well!
They had to give you Morphine immediately after u woke up to kill pain and follow with 2 Panadol every 4 hours Any way look after your self and enjoy your life
i had this surgery around 1:00PM yesterday. Right now its 6:13 am and Im actually doing pretty well so far. Yeah it's pretty painful but right now for me its bearable. I'm hoping it wont get any worse. I dont feel too gassy.
Last question , did you sleep on your back after surgery ? If so , how many days did you wait to sleep on your left or right side ? I am scared to sleep on my left side and don’t want to make a mistake and go back to the hospital . Thanks a lot .
I slept in an upright position for a few days, with pillows stacked behind me! As long as it is not painful, you can safely sleep on your side without any complications! Im a stomach sleeper, but found I was not able to return to that particular sleeping position until a few weeks after!
Thanks so much for posting this, girl! Very informative. I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
Prior to the anesthesia they give you drugs that make you sleepy through your IV and you may feel like you're floating. Usually to give you the anesthesia they put a mask on you similar to and oxygen mask and have you breath normally. DON'T BE SCARED! Honestly the chances of you knowing what is going on or remember any of when they "put you to sleep" are slim to none! It is impossible to stay away no mater how hard you try! Before they take you back for surgery the anesthesiologist will come in and meet with you so if you tell them you're nervous for it they will make sure you are comfortable and help you though it! You'll do great! Let me know how it goes!
I would check with your surgeon or PCP! I know that for me I had to wait 10-12 weeks until I was allowed to start doing light lifting and light exercising. Your surgeon or PCP will be able to tell you based on how you are healing!
If you do see this msg , can you please tell me how long until pain goes away after surgery ? Got mine done last night am today my first day and it hurts :( when will I feel better ? 🙏
TaylorTaylorDiamond so the pain is different for everybody. It is looking back probably to most pain I had been in for lingering days. Having a high pain tolerance I only knew something was wrong when the pain shifted from central belly button area to my right side. I knew something was up then but it still wasn't the worst pain I had been in. That's where it could be dangerous. People think they'll know an inflamed appendix when they have it. But anybody that has experienced any other gut pains like constipation would assume it was just that. Its post recovery is where I thought the real pain was at. Just read your body listen to it and don't think its something you can just pass. It'll kill yuh
I made sure to take Tylenol, along side the pain medication they prescribed me, on a consistent basis so it was always in my system! I also was very careful when moving!
@@AllieYoung yeah, it's been 8 month since surgery and no one understands what's the problem, doctors simply don't know 😔 they say the only way to find out is another laparoscopy 🤪 anyways hope that you feel well now!!
I wasn't allowed to shower for 48 hours and when I did shower I had to put a Tegaderm strip over the incision to prevent it from getting wet. I used the Johnson's Baby Cleansing Wipes in the yellow packaging to keep clean!

No problem! Before they put you to sleep they give you medicine in your IV that makes you drowsy and then they just put something similar to on oxygen mask on you and have you breath it in. It's actually relaxing! Definitely not a wide awake and then you're out, but it's not a long drawn out process either. No you definitely couldn't stay awake no matter how hard you try!
Just got mine out last night 😭 post op day 1 right now. Definitely make sure you walk around y’all. Don’t get blood clots!
Yes, I couldn’t agree more! I hope you feel better soon!
Awwwe! Seeing you in that pain made me feel so bad for you. I don't like seeing good people hurting. I hope all stays well with you now.
+Butterfly333 Aw, thank you so much! I am feeling much better now! Hoping to stay well through the new year and beyond!
the gas during recovery was the worst oh my . i wasn’t prepared for that amount of pain . nobody told me anything
I completely agree! Now when I have any procedures done I make sure to take "Phazyme Gas and Acid Relief" daily for the gas pain! It is the one OTC gas relief I have found to work super well!
don't they give you drugs to calm your pain after surgery?
+SNUFALUFAGUS 3000 Yes, but they made me sick so I couldn't take them ☹️
Just had mine out and was wondering why you were in so much pain but if you couldn't take the pain meds that must have been really horrible
They had to give you Morphine immediately after u woke up to kill pain and follow with 2 Panadol every 4 hours
Any way look after your self and enjoy your life
They gave me fetanoyl and norco
@@AllieYoung i was given Dilauded IV postop. And Percocet for at home because i dont tolerate Vicodin well
i had this surgery around 1:00PM yesterday. Right now its 6:13 am and Im actually doing pretty well so far. Yeah it's pretty painful but right now for me its bearable. I'm hoping it wont get any worse. I dont feel too gassy.
Hope you have a speedy and pain free recovery!
Just had mine on Sunday too
I hope that you feel better but I know it is late. But I do wanted to watch some of your content from the past. Sending you the support and the hugs.
About a week!

I understand your pain, I had mine out when I was 13 and it was just as school was starting out. prey for a fast and easy recovery
That sucks! Thank you so much! I wish mine had happened at the beginning and not the end of the semester LOL
The ct scan liquid is nasty I had appendectomy on November 30 and I feel your pain
With my gallbladder CT they put the dye through my IV so I didn’t have to drink it thankfully! Hope you’re feeling better and recovering well!
When can we come back to workout (exercises) after an appendectomy, please?
I had to wait 10 weeks, but I would definitely ask your doctor about when they recommend returning to exercise!
@@AllieYoung thank you
GURL ITS BEEN A WEEK N IM STILL ABSENT FROM SCHOOL
OH NO! I didn't have a choice, but to suck it up and go to school :(
I am a dancer. I had an appendectomy a month back. When do you think is a good time to start dancing again?
I would check with your surgeon or PCP! I know that for me I had to wait 10-12 weeks until I was allowed to start doing light lifting and light exercising. Your surgeon or PCP will be able to tell you based on how you are healing!
Glad you feel much better now.
Thanks!
I had mine out on Friday and went into hospital on New Year’s Day soo... great start to the new year

I had my appendix taken out last year when I was in grade 7 , the pain sucks and i couldn't even laugh .
Oh no 😞
What was the intensity of pain right after the surgery when you woke up? Pls rate it on a scale of 10.
My pain was around a 2 when I woke up because I was on pain meds!
this is very helpful im currently in hospital and the day of my surgery 🙃
I hope you have a speedy recovery!
Where were you when you when you had to go to the hospital/you had the pains so you had to go to the hospital?
I'm not really understanding your question... Do you mean what made me decide to go to the hospital because of the pain?
Yeah. Sorry I am a really confusing person
If you do see this msg , can you please tell me how long until pain goes away after surgery ? Got mine done last night am today my first day and it hurts :( when will I feel better ? 🙏
It can take anywhere from a few days, to a few weeks, to a few months. Everyone has a different experience.
@@AllieYoung thanks for responding .
On a scale of 1-10 how painful was it? Seems scary
+crazygirls4you Thanks for asking such a great question! I'll be sure to answer it in the video!
TaylorTaylorDiamond I'm going thru recovery (had surgery 5days ago) and it was the worst fucking pain in the world easily ten

TaylorTaylorDiamond 7 to 8 btw for pain scale pre surg. 8 to 9 sometimes hitting a 10 post surg.

Just got my appendix removed Saturday night how did u deal with the pain after surgery
I made sure to take Tylenol, along side the pain medication they prescribed me, on a consistent basis so it was always in my system! I also was very careful when moving!
Are you the only one in the family that has had this surgery? And how long was the operation?
+Yalitza Robles Thanks for asking such great questions! I'll be sure to answer them in the video!
So.... Can you eat fried foods now?
Yes, I can!
Went through this stuff as well 🙄 now the symptoms repeat and idk what to do, like no appendix already but the symptoms are same like ugghh
I would definitely talk to a medical provider about the repeat symptoms! There could be another underlying problem!
@@AllieYoung yeah, it's been 8 month since surgery and no one understands what's the problem, doctors simply don't know 😔 they say the only way to find out is another laparoscopy 🤪 anyways hope that you feel well now!!
I know it hurts I had a screen mesh put in my tummy and some time it makes me sick.
+Nate Leonard Really? That sounds awful ☹️️
I just got mine out 2 days ago and my dr didn’t give me good medicine at all he told me to just take ibuprofen. I’m in horrific pain
Oh no, I’m sorry 😞
Was in hospital for over week! Mine was emergency as in I rode in ambulance I almost died. Mine ruptured and had an infection
I would have gone by ambulance if it wasn’t so expensive and if the hospital wasn’t right down the road 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for this blog
Glad you enjoyed it!
ive had this hope everything is ok now
Really? Thanks, I am doing much better!
yeah and thats good :) :)
I had this surgery yesterday, and the pain is unbearable.
I hope you feel better soon!
how did you know when you had it and how long was the surgery
+Nate Leonard Thanks for asking such a great question, I'll be sure to answer it in the video!
How much pain were you in after surgery?
I wasn't in a lot of pain until the second day. I was still pretty drugged up on the day of my surgery because it was in the early evening.
How did you know you needed to get your appendix out?
Thanks for asking a question, I'll be sure to answer it in the video!
Did u get a ct scan before surgery?
Yes
Does it hurt for a laser surgery too???
It probably depends on the type of laser surgery. I’ve only ever had laparoscopic.
Hope u r feeling better
+Jasmine Shum Thank you, I definitely am!
were u scared of knowing u had to get a surgery? what were ur thoughts?
Thanks for asking a question, I'll be sure to answer it in the video!
I got mine taken out Wednesday
I hope you're feeling better!
When can I shower or how can I shower
I wasn't allowed to shower for 48 hours and when I did shower I had to put a Tegaderm strip over the incision to prevent it from getting wet. I used the Johnson's Baby Cleansing Wipes in the yellow packaging to keep clean!
Allie Young thx and is it okay to eat kfc after 6days of surgery? Lol
I would ask your doctor!
@@AllieYoung hello i ade anapedix syrgery. Would plz tell me after it how long can i start work again because i work hard as builder.
@@muhammadamjid5537 It all depends on what your surgeon or doctor tells you. It is different for everyone.
are you feeling 100℅ better 😄
+Nate Leonard Not 100%, but I'm definitely feeling over 75% better!
Why did you have your appendix removed
+Jasmine Shum Thanks for asking suck a great question! I'll be sure to answer it in the video!

No problem! Before they put you to sleep they give you medicine in your IV that makes you drowsy and then they just put something similar to on oxygen mask on you and have you breath it in. It's actually relaxing! Definitely not a wide awake and then you're out, but it's not a long drawn out process either. No you definitely couldn't stay awake no matter how hard you try!

I don’t even remember getting put to sleep lol
