I am 7 days post op. I had a hernia fixed while I had the surgery. Now I have horrible pain in and around my belly button. None of my other incisions hurt at all. Is this pain from the hernia? Has anyone else had a hernia fixed during this surgery? Sometimes I can barely get out of a chair or bed. I went back to work today and it was horribly painful. Any advice would be great.

I had the very same thing happen! Went to ER on 2 seperate occasions and it was a hernia. There were no pain meds that touched that pain. Felt like a pulling...tearing feeling on my insides. My surgeon told me unless something actually prolapses thru the hernia...its best to wait to repair it bc our weight is still high and would prolly happen again. After almost a full month of pain...I woke up and it was gone. I hope urs doesn't last this long...but ur not alone. Im just at 4months tomorrow...down 64lbs. Good luck!

      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! 😞
