"exit:" incision problems?



Recommended Posts

so all in all im doing great, im getting 100 grams of Protein ( im 6.3) in no problem, along with my fluids, envying the pain killers while they last but i have a question that is concerning me

on my lower left side, one of the port holes that was used to extract my giant old stomach sack had a very large swollen contusion area. its very painful, its a large lump protruding out. now i was told that they had to actually "pry" open that area to get out my stomach...

has anyone else had a issue like this, im actually slightly concerned its actually a hernia and its my intestines poking into that area. the swelling comes and goes and it is for sure the post painful area i have.

any thoughts guys?

i saw him today actually, he placed his hands on it and check it, its just swelling from a hemotoma from when they had to force the opening up larger by prying on it some, it will reduce in size, but the reason why its bothering me so much is because it was forced open by hand and not cut...kinda wish they would have just opened it a bit more with a scapel or something

i really have nothing to complain about, i have been running around all day out the house, ive already consumed 94 grams of protein! all from my shakes, now i can just pick and choose what to enjoy for the evening. its been so smooth.. i took a bunch of...items ;) last night and slept a good 10 hours.. woke u, was able to get out of bed on my own, and i am just now getting sore... 4 days post op, it was NOT a smart thing to do ( but i was pain med free) but i even felt well enough to do some driving and pick up a few things, go to the post office.

if anyone is wondering if they should sleeve or not, don't worry, if you can have this kind of recovery and be outside running around 4 days out of the hospital,

i was a type 2 diabetic before the operation...on metformin,, blood sugar was running between 177 and 210..

i can report 4 days post op it has been between 130 and 107! im off all diabetes meds, my bp was 130/86 a little while ago...no bp meds today either!. i check it again tonight, maybe they are gone too!

thanks for the love guys, your hear for me, and im hear for everyone else. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
