Ok, I've been hurting tonight. I was leaning over a puppy gate, but my foot slipped and I fell on the gate (not to the ground).

I actually had to take some pain medication because it feels like I've done a thousand situps. It's been just about two months since I had my surgery, and I never had any symptoms of leaks--up to now, everything has been fine. Could it just be achy and bruised from the fall (on top of maybe residual tenderness from the surgery) or should I be worried?

I seem to have a good deal of gas for some reason, probably unrelated, but that's about the only other thing wrong with me right now. That, and easy bruising. Lots of bruises lately from the slightest of bumps. I'm afraid to see what my stomach looks like tomorrow!

It prolly is just deep bruising from Landing on the gate. But monitor your symptoms and if they don't get better in a day or so I would give a call to ur surgeons office. There may also be some residual pain from surgery that was agrevated by the fall/ impact on the gate. It is always good to follow up with ur doc. Phone calls are free. I hope this helps. And I hope u feel better soon .

I would call the doc if it were me. You will be better off with the surgeon telling you that it is nothing to worry about so you can relax about it. Being stressed/worried makes it harder for your body to heal.

I attended my pre-approval seminar this past Wednesday, and the surgeon said it takes about 3 weeks for the staples to be healed over with scar tissue. I would definitely call the doctor, but know that your staple line should be healed.

It's just the ache where you tightened up your muscles. I fell bad last week on my side everything ached but I'm good now. We tensed up knowing we were going down. I hope you feel better.

Thanks guys! Turns out, everything is fine! I just got a little bruised and achy, but my stomach is just fine! I'm SO glad!
