If very painful... don't hesitate to call your doc or the one on call for him/her. I only have occasional pain but I think it's just the internal stiches healing and/or my insides gettign use to things...

I was kind of thinking a hernia my self ... I just dont see any addition bulg in that area.

You don't always, especially if you have abdominal fat.

I've had many hernias since giving birth to my son 10 years ago, in fact I had emergency surgery for a strangulated hernia this past August. When they first started, it felt like you describe but no bulge. It wasn't until they were considerably bigger and pushed through the abdominal fat that I could see them.

Kristie I am 4 days PO and have experienced a lot of burning. Mine has been very similar to gastritis. I spoke with my Dr. Who said that there is an inflammatory response that takes place that usually starts 2 days after surgery. Some PTs have a lot of burning due to this. This is normal IF you are tolerating liquids and are not throwing up. The pain meds help with the burning. Don't be afraid to use them.

I have this pain but to the right of my belly button in between two incisions. I am 17 days post op. The pain is bad when i walk, which stinks. I called the doctor friday about it but the NP said its a normal healing process and that it is where my port is stitched in my muscle. Its been hurting like this since last thursday. The NP told me to try ibprofen and ice packs. Neither worked on this burning pain for me. They told me to call back if i needed something stronger but i havent yet because the stronger stuff just knocks me out and I cant do anything. I hope you and I are pain free soon!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
