Hi!

So yesterday I decided I needed to stretch my back-- I have scoliosis and it was really hurting--- so I laid on my back in the bed and my legs slid out onto the floor and it was painful!! I'm stressed!!

I've kinda been hurting since on my stomach-- could I have torn the staples or done damage??

I was worried about this at the hospital when I started walking and my nurse/ program coordinator said it wouldn't happen .....

Thoughts!!!

Also when did stop hurting and feeling tightness

I had the sleeve with hernia repair

Thank you

Most likely it's from your internal sutures.

And is pretty normal if you stretch or twist to much. It's happened to most of us at some point.

I tore my muscle wall internally where the stitches were internally. It felt like fire for awhile, but mostly was gone in 3-4 days.

I pulled some of my scar tissue about 2 weeks out and was in nasty pain when I turned certain ways. Thankfully, it only lasted for a few days. I made sure to call my doc right away, though, just to make sure it was just a pull.

Same here mine hurt in certain positions but especially if I breathed very deeply. It went quickly it was the way I slept in my side.

Don't worry

BE Careful!

I am over a year out and still sense a bit of tenderness in the belly area. I exercise a lot but lay off of over stressing the abdomen. The fat is coming off of my stomache area anyway, working the legs, back and chest gets most of it off....and eating right of course.

Thank you

I was really worried! Hopefully it will be better today if not ill call the dr tomorrow

Yeah, I actually had my first post-op visit scheduled that same day it happened. I went to my dr. and she scheduled me for a CT scan to make sure it wasn't a hernia. I had the CT scan that afternoon and then a follow up appointment the next day again with my dr. It took about a week to get back to where I was. The pain subsided in a couple days and it was just sore.

I have found it is the things like bending over without bending knees or getting up from a chair or bed that set it off. If you think about your internal stitches like a rubber band around your wrist..if you pull on that rubber band sharp enough you create a welt. So the pain happens as the stitch rubs over that welt. You have to let it heal and be very careful about certain movements.
