Some of you might remember me mentions a pain under one of my incisions that hurt when I moved certain ways...hurt quite a bit actually inless I was in the right position. I called the doc office and they said muscle or scar tissue pulled. Well, yesterday I had a new pain in the incision next to it. It burns like someone is sticking me with a hot knife and there are very few positions I can get in to to relieve it.

Walking, getting up, sitting, bending, turning over in bed...PAIN!!!! It even burns when I touch it. There is no swelling or redness but it is at the point where I will not be able to go to work tomorrow. I plan to call the doctor but does anyone have any ideas what it is and how I can help it? Why do these things always happen on the weekend?

i had the same pain (felt like something was tearing in me) and it finally went away about a month after surgery...the doctor said it was where he put a tight stitch at the muscle and it was tearing a little and maybe even bleeding until it completely healed...hang in there!!

That burning can be scar tissue too. Sometimes when you stretch or move in a certain way, it pulls. Even though it hurts, the good news is, that it is a good thing when you tear that scar tissue. It can keep you from being restricted later.

Maybe its worth giving them another ring in the morning... just to make sure you keep them informed. Hope you feel better soon!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
