    Rose🌹 got a reaction from Believe2021 in Abdominal Muscle Pain & Tingling Left Thigh   
    I am 6 weeks post op and I am stilling having pain. The main incision is on the right and the pain i am having is internal. The incision healed perfectly with no issues but I am having a sharp pain in my muscle that comes and goes. I want to start exercising but I can't because its so hard to bend due to the pain. I can't fully turn to either side while sleeping, i turn to the left - i feel like its being pulled.. turn to the right - i feel pressure. I can only turn half way to the side while sleeping.
    If I sit down at a height where my stomach is being pressed, pain. Sometimes I can't sit Indian style because I have that sharp pain. The pain sometimes radiate to my side. At first the pain was deep at the incision site but now i sometimes feel the pain is deep on top of the incision site.
    I spoke to my doctor and all they ask is about is the incision site, which is perfectly healed. They tell me to take Tylenol ever 6 hours, i dont want to take all these pills. My father had the same surgery and he never experience this type of pain. However, mine was robotic assisted. Its driving me nuts because I want to exercise and really lose the weight, I am currently losing a pound a week or none at all. I also want to avoid as much loose skin as possible by exercising, I know i will still have some but the quicker I act the better it will be.
    Did anyone else had this pain? Does anyone have an idea as to what it might be.
    Also I have this tingling/numbness on my left thigh. Never had it before, started happening two weeks after the surgery. It happens when I lay down to go to sleep, its effecting my sleep.. can't sleep unless I bend my legs. Has this ever happened to anyone? I don't know what to do. I got a sono of the lower extremities, no clots.

    Help, I am beginning to gain weight. I originally weighed 223lbs when I went for the initial appointment. Right before the surgery I weighed 215lbs and when I came home from the hospital, 3 days later, I went back up 221lb. Next day I was 216lb. In the next 8 days, I went down to 204lbs. The follow-up doctor told me start my puree diet on the Jan 31st, which I did. (I don't know where the confusion was but my Nutritionist wanted me to start the puree diet on Feb 4th). In the past 9 days, I gained 4lbs. I been checking everyday since I was home but now I am back to work, ill check weekly but I am so afraid it will continue to rise.

    Is this normal? Is it the puree diet weight? Water weight? Should I limit what i am eating? I am now able to drink 5 glasses of water where as I had to force down 2 glasses.
