Yeah my doc says no lifting more than 15 lbs for six weeks. Follow up visit is April 4th. I haven't had any pain since the Saturday. A friend of ours is a retired shock trauma nurse. She said the pain is caused by the gas they use to inflate the area during repair and that I needed to get rid of the excess. She told me to lay on my left side with knees curled towards my chest. Did this for about two hours, pain all gone!!! Just the expected tightness around the incisions. I honestly feel like I could go for a run, but know better. Will be very careful and follow docs orders.
