Two weeks and three days out. ...



Recommended Posts

So I am 2 weeks in 3 days out, and I'm still experiencing muscle pain on one side of my stomach. It's kind of like a pinching pain inside. Now done of you know that I had an infection shortly after surgery in one of my incisions. It wasn't a deep wound and it's almost completely healed and I'm almost done with my antibiotics. No pain it anything there. But on my right side of my stomach hurts when I'm in the process of standing up. Or like if I lie down it's a pain trying sit up cause the side hurts. Somebody plz tell me this is normal. I mean I'm walking I'm getting around the house fine I walk upstairs fine. Is this normal. Anybody else experience this?

Hi. I had my surgery two weeks and 4 days ago. I am having that type of pain on my left side. Over the past 5 days it has gotten better. People keep telling me to just give my body more time to heal. I keep reading about people going back to work after one week and they just jump right back into life. So then I freak out thinking what went wrong with me? I think each persons experience is going to be different. I don't know if I have helped you at all, but since our surgery dates were so close I thought I would let you know my experience. Good luck to you and I hope you feel better soon!

      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!

      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!!
