My upper abdomen hurts a lot. It feels like my skin is on fire. The pain meds I'm on isn't cuting it. Going to call the doctor.

Thanks everyone. I'm taking 2 oxycode per 4 hours with tylenol and it's not even touching the pain. The surgeon told me they have to cut through muscle and my port is right there too, so that's what causing the pain. I haven't been hungery though! Been sipping on my liquids and carrying a water bottle with me while I walk around the house. Next time, bowel regimen! Fun times!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
