Sudden Severe Pain 4 Days Post Op



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone I had surgery on Monday and have been recovering really well.. Had gas pains, was a bit sore and sleepy from the anaesthetic.

Last 2 days have felt great and probly been more

Active than I should be.. I went to work today for a few hours, then I was baking cakes for an epic birthday cake - a lot of benign down and up.

About an hour ago I had an aggressive stab of pain in the left of my belly like something is pulling. It is really sensitive and can barely sit down without agony and feeling like I have pulled something - and that's after prodiene forte.

Is this common / should I just take it easy? Or should I be heading to a gp first thing in the morning (Saturday).

Also the bruising has gotton worse around the bigger Bandaid ill try and add a photo - dont know if this is normal or i should be alarmed - my surgeon didnt talk about any of this!

Thanks for your help!!

Between the pain and bruising, suggest you seek medical treatment soon. At the very least if its nothing, can help put your mind at ease, whilst if it is something more serious, the earlier the intervention the better.

Thanks everyone - when I woke up the pain was completely gone and back to normal. My doctors offices aren't open on weekend and I don't think a gp will do much - so unless the pain comes back I will wait until Monday an call my surgeon then.. The bruising hasn't changed at all

      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!
