1 week out and pain!



Recommended Posts

i had am umbilical hernia repair during surgery and i was done with only 2 incisions. one in my belly button and one up high just between my breasts to hold my liver during surgery. i am pretty active, im a stay at home mom. i have a 3 and a half yr old and a 8month old. im not sure if it was the laundry or the cleaning up the toys or picking up the baby but i have a horrible burning pain about 3 fingertips to the left of my bellybutton. its random and almost reminds me of a phantom pain like after a c-section. but burns! i took tylonel but no relief. i finally called the doctor around 7 , which i hated to do but i couldnt stand it anymore. he says he thinks i was doing to much and tore the area near my port. i dnt even know where my port is yet! but goodgollymissmolly this is painful. he said for me to take ibrprofin 400mg every six hours with a meal. anybody else have this issue? pain near the port?

The port can usually be felt, but it is often sewn to the muscle near the band. If you lie on your back you may be able to feel a slight protrusion. If that is where the pain is...sit down and take it easy. You need to heal. When was your surgery? Do you have anyone to call to help with the kids? I wish you well.

      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!
