My surgeon thinks its either an over active nerve cluster where the port for an instrument was or an undissolved suture (which I have a history of). He shot the area with lidocaine (which hurt and didn't work) and prescribed a pain med called Neurotonin that calms nerve endings. I'm doing this til my 2 month appointment' date=' and if there's still pain I will go anesthesiology for more precise injections. If all else fails, more surgery.[/quote']

It's gross looking and gosh it hurts.

They gave me lydacaine in hospital in two of my sites. He said sometimes there will be issues with nerve endings. I have one now that kills. But it also may be abdominal muscle they had to jam through. So rough to get up but I push myself because I know I have to walk. I'm day 5 post op.

is there redness and is the skin hot? I had it on my left incision site that is the one most used. Turned out to be an infection for me but, mine was raised, red and hot.

No, it's warm to the touch but just bruised badly from the lidocaine shots. The neurotonin needs to kick in soon. This burning nerve pain is nauseating.

      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.

        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!
