Why Is The Pain Getting Worse?



Recommended Posts

Today I start my 3 weeks post op (Surg on 4/16) and this pain in my left side is gettng worse. I was fine until I vomited and it felt like something was tearing inside me. Initially thought it was pulled muscle but it is worse. To the ponit I cannot bend over or sleep on my sides. I'm not sure what is going on but have appt. with surgeon in the morning to check it out. Hope they didn't leave anything inside me they were not suppose to.

I have the same thing, I am 2 weeks out just started soft food! I don't think it's anything, I think it'll get better over time!

Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

Well, I had to be readmitted to the hospital last week on Wednesday. Was dehydrated and constipated. Wife said I looked like hell. A couple of days of IV fluids helped and was discharged on Friday. Friday night was hell.

I don't think I really understood the need to drink slowly throughout the day and try to get your Protein in.

I feel a little better today, but definitely not normal. Thought or smell of food makes me nausaus, but hopefully that will pass. I'm not sleeping well either. Drinking about 4 oz of Water an hour with 3 very small meals.

Crossing my fingers it gets better over time. 24may12 will be 3 weeks post op.

      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!
