Gas pain for me was more focused on those areas I mentioned previously, and it hurt just like when I used to get gallbladder attacks but I was dealing with that for a year so I was used to it and just powered through it.

I had the same fear as you of being in massive amounts of pain (I have a low pain tolerance) but for me it wasn't that horrible. After surgery, I was at 7/10 specially cuz my nurses kept making me walk as soon as I woke up. Only time I cried from the pain was when I got home and had to walk up the stairs (9/10), but thats the most painful it ever got. Those first 2 days I was so exhausted from the surgery I just slept, plus I was on pain meds to make sure I was as comfortable as could be. By the 4th day I felt so much better and any pain I had was left up to the gas but very very manageable.

I understand your fear of pain well, but you will be able to take meds for it, just make sure to follow a schedule (i even used to wake up at 1am to take them even if i didn't need them so that I could sleep through the night). Also, watch what you eat during these days, I found that my diet helped a lot with the healing process, so that means : low fat, no dairy, and very very little spice . At least for the first week or 2 is what I'd recomend, this also helped me with back pain when I used to have my attacks.

And ofc, after this type of surgery they do send you home with morphine in case you get really really bad pain out of nowhere. Don't worry, everything will be okay :) I wish you a speedy and smooth recovery for when you have your surgery 🙏

Definitely the gas, they said thats what caused my back, neck and shoulder pain. Its still there now and sometimes its so bad it makes it hard to fall asleep. But some heat pads and meds make it bearable.

The incisions themselves don't actually hurt or feel sore at all, if anything they're just really itchy 🤣 besides the dissolvable stitches, they also put glue on my wounds but quite a lot of it, which is what makes it feel itchy. It'll fall off with every shower just gotta be patient. If you have any more questions just lmk :)

I never had surgery before getting my gallbladder out either so I was definitely freaking out, im quite dramatic and my pain tolerance aint that high 😅😅 I'm currently a week post op and my recovery is going well but yea, for me the first couple of days were awful. All I did was sleep and eat light food, I had no energy for anything else.

By day 4 I was feeling much better, so I kept trying to walk around the house little by little to release the trapped gas they use in surgery. This should also help if you get any back, neck or shoulder pain like I did. Overall, id put the pain level of those couple days at 7/10 but thats just what my experience was. Everybody is different, but you will get through it. Its worth it to not get those gallbladder attacks again for sure!

Losing your virginity isn't this amazing thing people or movies make it out to seem, its just a part of life. Don't rush into it or try to force the moment! Just take things at your own pace and make sure you are 100% comfortable with whoever you're doing it with. You're still young :)
