Pain returned after 5 weeks



Recommended Posts

I had Sleeve surgery on 2/4. Everything has been going beautifully. No complications. Suddenly, I started having pain at my large incision site and went the the ER. They did an CAT scan, Chest xray and checked for blood clots, did blood work and urine and found nothing. They said there is some inflammation, but nothing to be worried about. Today, the pain is worse. HAs anyone experienced this? Could it be something more than inflammation? I'm debating going back tot he ER.

I would go back if you feel worse today. Just because they didn't find it the first time doesn't mean that there isn't something there. Best of luck to you!! Please let us know how you are doing.

ETA What does your surgeon say today? Have you contacted re: increased pain?

YES. That is what is happening to me although i have not had a day go by that I didn't have some discomfort or pain. So last week was awful my pain was so bad and my tummy was tender to touch. I went to the dr. yesterday. Everything is fine all my blood work and everything. She gave me a muscle relaxant to see if that will help the inflammation and relax the muscle enough to com you healing without an extreme amount of pain. She said I could have moved wrong or sat wrong, stretched wrong to cause the muscle more inflammation. My suggestion is to call your surgeon to try to get an appointment to see what she/he has to say.

Muscle inflammation. I did have a Heaton after surgery and am thinking that had something to do with it. Everything else has been going beautifully. No nausea no vomiting no hunger. Im 100% compliant and cautious. I did have my son on my back. But atnanmonth out, I thought I'd be fine.

Have them check to see if its not your gall bladder. Losing weight can cause gall stones and it can hurt in that area. Good luck and hope you feel better soon.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
