Don't know whether to be worried or not, but just not feeling too well today. A little nausea and lower left side abdominal pain and burning. Anyone else experienced this? I am 4 weeks post op and have had no problems at all until today.

I'm also 4 weeks out and everything gives me awful heartburn and I have been feeling horrible. The only thing that doesn't bother me is s.f. popsicles. I'm about to call my Dr.

Oh no! Hope you feel better! I just talked to my surgeon and he said to avoid all milk and milk products as well as anything sugar free and just go to broth and things like chicken Soup. Oh and of course stay hydrated. He said if it worsens to go to the ER, but I am nowhere near that bad.

Always call your doc if it is painful and burning. I am 8 months out and have heard of others have this. Just be safe and call your doc. If really painful go to er.

Any burning type pain around an incision this far out is nerves healing and coming back to life. And my doc said that you can have pain around your large incision for up to 6 months. Uggg.

I'm 4 weeks today. I don't know if you noticed but right after surgery, the bottom left portion of the stomach is numb. Now it's not so numb. My side is just starting to feel better since I pulled the muscle in week 2. It will get better :)

The doc put me back on liquids only and I'm being sent for an upper GI tomorrow. And also told me to start taking my nausea and spasm meds and that seemed to help a bit.

What spasm meds do you take?

I feel much better today! I really believe it was the milk I made my Protein Shake with for Breakfast. I felt completely better by 4:00. My doc felt it was the milk too. Thank you all for all your support!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
