3 days post op and still in so much pain. Can't tell if I'm being a wuss since i see all of these other people on here saying they are just fine at this point. But I'm almost in tears every time I get up to go to the bathroom. Not sure what to do. The nurses in the hospital just blew me off as i felt like a stitch was being ripped out everytime i moved. Ugh!

Could it be gas pain?

Getting up and moving is the best thing to do.

Take your pain medicine don't wait till its out of control. Try to take as your doctor for a few days. Like if its every six hours then take it every six hours to stay on top of your pain. Make sure you take medicine so you can poop lol pain medicine can cause major Constipation.< /p>

I know what u mean. My incision under my left breast is killing me. So I have been putting ice on it. That helped me out

What bothers me is at different angles the incision under the port one is indented at times. Like the muscle under was messed with.... Which I don't get why they have to even do that.

My lower left is indented too. I assume its from the manipulation of equipment in there

Mine too and that is where i hurt so bad! Has to be a muscle because it feels like I'm being ripped open whenever i sit or lay down. Hopefully the indent will go away and our whole stomach will look like a "6-pack" in a few months!!

Still after more than 3 weeks I am having the same excruciating pain in one of my incisions. The same spot I complained about in the hospital and no one seemed concerned. I was in the ER this past weekend for dehydration and pain. They took xrays and found nothing wrong...how can it be that every other incision, including the biggest one is almost healed and this one is still causing so much pain it's unbearable to functions. I'm on my 4th bottle of pain meds.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
