Well after a few visits to the local ER, many tests and many pain meds I was finally able to get in to see my surgeon. He ordered a few more tests and finally found out why I have been hurting so damn bad.

I DO NOT have a seroma, or hemotoma as diagonsed by the ER. I have a hernia. Right near my belly button incision and that is what is causing my distressing pain.

I am scheduled for surgery on Monday, Decmeber 14th to fix this. My DR says I will feel much relief after this surgery. He says the most pain I will have after this will be the incision sites. After this hernia, I can handle the incision site pain.

I am so looking forward to feeling good and being able to exercise. I have been wanting to hit the treadmill.

Thank you to everyone that responded to my last post about hurting so bad. I appreciate it. I am thankful to finally have an answer here.

On a more positive note...my DR said my new sleeve was beautiful! :biggrin0:

I had emergency surgery on an irreducible incarcerated hernia in June and was fully recovered after a week. You will be fine x

I'm glad it has been figured out. I hope you feel better really soon.
