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.

Lisa, wow. I sure hope the meds help. The neurotin is suppose to be great. Good luck

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.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
