Possibly hurt myself... How do you know.



Recommended Posts

I was just sitting on the couch and I got up and reached for my glass of Water and OMG... I just felt a sharp pain that went all the way to my back. It hurt so bad that I even started crying and lasted for about two minutes. Right now I still have a sharp pain in my belly. Thoughts??? I am so scared that I did something to my sleeve. Am I just panicing for nothing??? Help please.

How far out are you?

Can you ring your surgeons office and ask them if you should worry?

I call my surgeons office for lots of things and earlier out I called soooo much. They were always so nice and helpful. My drs. nurse is the sweetest and so willing to help!

Don't be afraid to ring them up! :)

It could be pain from you internal stitches absorbing, but you should probably call the Dr just to be safe!

Hope it's nothing serious.

Same thing happened to me, it can be a tear of internal stitches, but with rest it should heal quickly. Take your pain meds if you have them until the pain subsides.

I called this morning right when it happen and they said not to worry. Hours later here I am that I can hardly walk, I called back they said to drink meds and if I want to go in tomorrow. I feel like the pain is about 6inches in length and it radiates to my back.

Went to ER when I couldn't even hold the baby. I tore a muscle in the incision site. Got more pain meds and they said two to six weeks of recovery. :-(

Darn that hurts. Mine was a minimal tear and felt better in 3-5 days. I took the pain meds and forced myself to take it easy. Finally the pain became a thing of the past.

Hope you feel better soon.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
