Three Weeks Post Op And Pain



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on November 6 and I thought I was doing okay and last Friday I threw up and felt like I pulled something on my left side close to the bottom of the rib area. I called the doctor on Monday and they said not to worry and it was better on Monday and Tuesday now today the pain is back. Has anyone else had this?

I've had a stabbing pain in the lower right side of my abdomen-- below my largest incision. I was also sleeved Nov. 6.

I saw my surgeon yesterday so he could be sure I was okay. He checked me for a hernia, hematoma and infection.

Everything looked good! He told me it was probably a muscle spasm. He said that because they have to cut through those strong abdominal muscles it's very, very likely that I'd have pain there. It should go away soon, hopefully!

It has been a week and a half and my pain is no better at all. I called the doctor and he said not to worry but this is really a long time to deal with this much pain. I have not been to the gym since the day before Thanksgiving and am really afraid working out will cause me more pain. Not sure what to do..

      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? 🤷‍♀️
