Debbie, hang in there, it will get better. I too have fibromyalgia and my "pain" was not only in my abdomen, but also to my right hip. I began to beat myself up for having this surgery and then I stopped and thought for only a brief moment and things began to change for me...Oh, I still have that hip pain, but not as bad today as if was yesterday, last week, or the week before that. Stay positive eventhough, it sounds easier than doing it. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that all will go well with you~~~Irene
