Achy tender stomach



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm almost 4 months out & my new tummy is still achy & tender. Not too sure if this is normal? Also I've been having really bad heartburn & it's going up in my throat. I'm on Prilosec twice a day & it helps but it's still there. I don't have a fever but I do have a headache & my stomach is distended. Still can't get ahold of anyone from my surgeons office!

Anyone else experience the achy tummy or this crazy heartburn?

Thank you!

Hi Fluffnomore,

I've seen my surgeon & PCP since this post. I guess it's just my new sensation!? I have really bad Gerd so thats what they think is going on.

Thank you!

Molly3, I'm 3 months post op and suddenly experiencing similar issues. Having nausea, burning sensation in tummy, and aching in abdomen. I'm also on Prilosec twice daily. Did the doctor have anything else to help? A different PPI? Any mention of ulcer etc? I have appt this week with surgeon, just wondering if u have any advice?

Hi Boogiebabe,

I was on Prilosec 2x a day as well & I still had the burning sensation & ended up in the ER. I'm on Protonix 1x a day now & may need to take 2.. I see my PCP this week & my surgeon for my 6 month next week. I'll let you know what they say.

Do you take carafate? I believe the Protonix is working a little better for me.

Hi,

They gave me a cocktail in my IV & also to drink. Ask your dr. about Carafate & Reglan.

Hi molly3,

Went to surgeon today and he is sending me for scope and ct scan monday. He also prescribed carafate and nexium. He wants to make sure nothing is going on that he is missing. Hope all will be okay. Thx for all your advice and taking time to chat!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
