Help! Did I Hurt Something?



Recommended Posts

I was laying in bed and sat up to fast, by the incision where they took out my stomach I heard and FELT a weird popping. Did I do something to hurt myself. I was a weird feeling, like something ripped. It doesn't hurt now but could I have hurt something inside?

Hope you're feeling ok.. Most likely it's the internal sutures they put in that area. At some point a lot of us felt that pop and even had a few days of pain when twisting.. If course though if something doesn't feel right don't hesitate to call the doc!

Better to be safe than sorry. If it were me, I'd call the doc. Good luck!

This has happened to me. Went in for my two week check up and told nurse, she said that I probably strained the area. I have to be careful when bending forward or to the right. You should speak with your Doctor or his office.

Did you spike a fever? Do you have any general feelings of crappiness? If you started internal bleeding, there'd be symptoms.

One thing I felt, which was weird, was a suture 'tag' pull out of the top incision. That doesnt make much sense. Ok you know the abdominal muscle lays under the skin. Well the skin incision, they didnt sew, they used steri-tape and it just closed up easy. But the muscle has this stiff fishing line suture in it. And in one of my incisions there was a pointy end sticking out through the top incision! It was pokey and would catch my shirt a little after the steri strips came off. I was bending over or twising or something and POP it sucked itself back through and hid on the inside. So bizarre. If you have stuff like that, it might have healed into a gunky scab on the inside and just pulled out of it. They do dissolve eventually.

If you feel weak all of a sudden or spike a fever, get it checked out.

Thank you all! I ended up calling the doctor last night. I know me, and I wouldn't have slept until I knew I didn't mess things up. The doctor said it was probably in internal suture that would eventually disappear anyways. He said there was nothing to be worried about and that it was common. Wooohoo! Also survived my first day back to work today.....I am exhausted and now have a Christmas party for work to go to. Uggggg.........so tired.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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...
