Is anyone having their surgery December 30th ? I am looking to buddy up .

Hi all. I am just shy of four weeks out. My surgery was on December 9. I had some issues with one incision but on the left side. They told me to expect pain there since that's where they remove the stomach from however I probably should've called the doctor sooner. They ended up having to re-cut open the wound clean it out. so if you are in a lot of pain around a wound I recommend having the dr or nurse look at it. Mine ended opening up and started bleeding that ended up being a good thing because it prompted me to go in and have him look at it they caught it just before an infection was just about to start. it's an open wound now but definitely healing.

My largest surgical site is on my right side. I have 4 smaller incisions that do not bother me at all. Do not have a temp at this time, but I do believe I will get it looked at. Better safe than sorry. Thanks

I am having the same problem with that one incision. It's the only one that hurts. I go to the doc on Jan 12. I'm gonna give it a few more days to see if it ease up.

5 days out I am feeling much better. Each day I feel a tad better. The large incision feels like a I have a peach rolling around in there. Sore but better. I hope the rest of you are feeling a little better. The shakes are challenging. The pureed stage will be here before you know it some of you sooner than me. One of the first things I want to make it the ricotta bake So in the mean time take it easy and heal. Happy Sunday!!

I am finding that the Ready-Made Protein Shakes that I was drinking Pre-Surgery are now too thick and sweet for me. So I have been adding a little Skim Milk to them, and they are easier now to get down.

Hi Everyone,

I have not had a chance till post till now and I hope you all are well after your surgeries. I am 5 days post op and I am still sore when I move especially around the large incision where they removed my stomach . I don't have nausea and I am tolerating liquids pretty well . Hows everyone else doing ?

@@bellabill I am having the same issue with the incision where they took my stomach out . It hurts !

Hootney same here. I will be so happy when that large incision will stop hurting. Uugghhh

Sounds like we are on the same page with the large incision. I am just going slow and easy.

I am curious about what everyone is talking about the large incision? All of mine seem to be very small I am only 10 days out please look and explain

Your incisions are healing nicely. I have 5 incisions; 4 tiny ones and one that is about an inch long. The larger one is the one everyone is talking about. By looking at yours, it might be the one at your belly button?

@Sweeteyes504.. The one that is hurting is on my right side and it looks like the cut by your belly button.

Is anyone having rolling pain in stomach when drinking or eating, along with burping?

• msladyjj44 Sometimes I have that and then I stop drinking or eating until it stops. When it stops I drink or eat slower with smaller bites or sips.
