My pain has improved since yesterday



Recommended Posts

I have been posting for the last 2 weeks about pain in my port area due to a hematoma. I went in yesterday for the second attempt for my first fill. The first time I didn't need it due to my success in weight loss. Again yesterday I was told I did not need a fill yet since my success was still on going. I also talked to the doc about the pain on my side. I told her that it doesn't seem to be getting better but not worse. When she stuck me with the needle for the fill she said some blood came out. I don't know how much but she thought maybe it was from sticking me with a needle. As soon as I left I have felt 100 times better then the I have for the last 3 weeks:D . Even the bump that was on my side at the location is a lot smaller now. I am thinking that she may have relieved some pressure from the hematoma when the blood came out. I am having a CT scan tomorrow just for piece of mind that it's not getting worse. My insurance is changing and not being accepted anymore after the 1st. I am just trying to get things done before the 1st.

Well from one thing to another. I went into the CT scan today and they found that my large intesting may be twisted. The doc asked if I was in pain due to it looking twisted and me having a lot of gas. I have never felt better I told them and don't feel like I have gas. They want me to schedule to have a colonoscopy some time soon like after the 1st since my insurance is changing. I asked them if I would be ok they said well if you feel very sick go to the ER. Everyone please pray for me that I will be ok to make it to the new year for an appointment and procedure with the gastro doc. I know how long docs take to schedule but hopefully they can get me in soon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
