Internal stitches pain



Recommended Posts

I was told that around day 14 or 15 the internal stitches that were placed would tear internally and that I may feel it or I may not. Well I feel it!! Really weird sensation and super uncomfortable... Every time I move it is worse..... I haven't had pain Meds since day 4 but I took some today.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it just last a day?

I have been feeling a kind of burning pain whenever I stand or turn when lying or sitting down. I dont feel it when I'm walking unless I stretch.

It has scared the crap outta me.

Hey Jennna! Luckily the pain only lasted about 48 hrs, I am feeling better now! Hope you start feeling better too!

Hey, I started having some pain in the area where the largest incision was too. I noticed it when laying down and when I changed positions in bed. It's not excruciating, it just feels like a bit of discomfort. I thought it was just my abs sore from some fun time with the Mrs., but its lingered for the past 2 days. At what point is this an actual problem?

I would say as long as it is bearable pain you are okay. It may also be your internal stitches but it may just be sore! It shouldn't last more than 72 hrs if it's the stitches, but if it becomes to bothersome I would give your doc a call.

I had it -- in my case it lasted about 5 days because I overdid it one day. I had to take the pain meds then too. But they dissolved and it went away.

      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!!
