In constant pain and I don't know why



Recommended Posts

I've had awful pain in the right side of my abdomen. Finally went to the doc who sent me to the er for a CT scan. Everything was eliminated (like divmetriculousis) but I'm still sick. I have a high white blood cell count and low grade fever. I called my surgeon whose nurse said she'd get back to me with an appointment but never did. My abdomen is distended. Remember how painful it was to get up and down right after surgery? That's what I'm experiencing again. I don't expect anyone to have answers; I just need to put this out here. btw, more test scheduled for Tuesday.

Update. I'm scheduled for a pelvic ultrasound tomorrow at 9 a.m. I have to drink 40 oz of Water before the test and not go to the bathroom.

Good luck to you! Hopefully they get to the bottom of this. I am guessing they are looking at your gallbladder?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
