Pain after 3 and a half weeks



Recommended Posts

Hi! Er defiantly an option but I just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this. I'm waiting for a call back from my doc. I'm post op 3 and a half weeks and for the past 3 days I have pain in my main incision site. When I sit, get up, move or walk a certain way it feels like something is pulling. I assume its because I had major surgery in that area and is healing but I feel like it was better and now more noticeable. Everything so far was pretty Uneventful and I've been following doctor's orders. My one month is this Fri but I may just get checked now to be safe. Any similar experiences please let me know!! Thx in advance

I had the exact pain on my right side 3 weeks out. It lasted almost exactly a week. I was told by my doctor is was the muscles & nerves healing.

Thank you that makes perfectly good sense. I'm glad I'm not alone!

I know how you feel. I was a nervous wreck. I could barely stand up straight. Hope it goes away quickly for you :)

yeah totally normal, i had the same thing at 3 weeks out. My doc said that it can also be because of bending to much, basically just irritating the area. I still get pain there to a much lesser degree if i do a lot of bending over.

      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!!
