I Feel A Stabbing Pain In My Large Incision



Recommended Posts

Anyone else have this? I was running errands all day and feel like I may have overdone it but want to check with you guys. No fever, no chills just a really sharp stabbing pain. I was sleeved 1/31/12

Thanks

I was sleeves on 2-13, and I felt that since day one. Today I found out that the muscle under that incision was torn and they stiched it so that's why I'm having so many pains there.

However your surgery was way before me and you should have noticed it before so I doubt that's what it is, tho it's one possibility.

Good luck and I hope you discover the cause very soon.

My surgeon told me that all who get sleeved have a muscle cut through then stitched. It is necessary to cut the muscle in order to get to the stomach. I too got a stabbing pain where that muscle was cut and stitched. It went away after about three weeks after surgery.

I was having a sharp pain on my left side a couple of days ago so I called my Doctor and he said that I had overdone it. There is a muscle they have to go through to get to your stomach. I was told to slow down and it is feeling alot better nowl. Hopefully you've just done the same and it will get better soon but remember if you have any doubt call your Doctor and ask him.

Yup - I have (had) it. It's getting so much better. But if I overdo it I know it because that's the center of any pain I feel. Doc says four weeks seems to be the magic number for this pain going away. Feel better!

      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!
