We were at a wedding reception tonight and I coughed. Not a big or violent cough and I felt something pop on my left side. MAN IT HURT! Now I have to be careful how I move. Can't do anything that stretches my left side. It's right under/next to my ribs. What should I do? I took some tylenol and put some heat on it. Any suggestions? (No swelling or anything sticking out - thank goodness.):blink:

If I were you, I'd just contact my surgeon to let him know. He may do nothing and just want to take a watch and wait approach, but I still think it's a good idea. He may have had a previous patient that went through the same thing and be able to offer some advice.

The body is such an amazing thing! After a good night's sleep, my pain is 100 times better this morning. Hard to believe after the pain I was in last night! I can move again without it hurting. Plan to take it easy today and do nothing more strenuous than cheering on the Cowboys!!

Anna,

No fun. Glad it wasn't a sneeze. Might give Bea a call, but I remember that early on, Theresa posted that she was told that there might even be some "popping." So glad you are feeling better. I would be scared to death to hear a "pop."

Just curious y'all, Dr. Davidson (Dallas) is doing my surgery June 11th. I've got family to spend the first week with, and after my one week post-op visit we've got a beach house in Galveston for my 2nd week of recovery. How will I feel? I know we are suppose to walk as much as possible, but how much WILL I feel like walking and doing? I'm just curious, will I be resting a lot or will I be able to walk some on the beach and enjoy our trip? On week two, will I still be on Clear Liquids or full liquids? Is every doctor different? If so, is anyone here familiar with Dr. Davidson? I know there are a couple of his patients that I've seen 'around'. :) Thank you in advance!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
