Pain Again, Like When First Out



Recommended Posts

So after 2 weeks out, I decided to clean out my closet. An activity that took me 3 hrs. No heavy lifting. When I was done, the area around my biggest incision started to hurt. Like when at beginning. Feels so tight and tender. The pain has continued a day after. My PA had worned me that when people become more active, the muscles under start hurting. Its REALLY tender. I have my 2 week pre op appt Wednesday. Should I call before then, wait? Should I be concerned? Any one experienced the same?

I am almost two months out and still, when I overdo it, I get some pain. Not like you are experiencing, but I can feel a twinge in my incision site. I have also heard about pain coming back after it has been gone for a while, just out of the blue.

I hope you feel better quick!

Maybe going to the Dr. wouldn't hurt. Eventhough you weren't lifting anything, it's possible to have popped a staple from stretching, maybe reaching for something in the closet. Hope everything goes well and feel better soon!

At two weeks out I had the same pain. It is part of the healing process. After having the pain for 4 days I went to my PA. She said it was normal. I took a Tylenol and the next few days were better. I had to wear a girdle to help ease the pain, but it finally went away. That tightness and tenderness when I moved a certain was terrible. Happy to report no more pain!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
