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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
