Pulled muscle maybe?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.. It's been forever since I've been on here. So many things happened after my surgery idk where to begin.

I was sleeved 11/16/15. I've had no issues at all. No nausea, vomiting, truly a success! I'm down 26 since SW and 42 lbs from my HW.

2weeks after my surgery my daughters Water breaks! She had her baby 6weeks early. After an epidural I was of course helping her push while pushing her one of her legs, until she finally had him.

I know this is long, but the baby had to be transported an hour away due to being premature. Since then which it's been 2weeks now I've been running non stop. Exhausted and I have this pain at one of my incision sites.

It's excruciating at times. It's on my right side. I called my surgeons office and was told that's where they pulled out my stomach. But they want to see me thiursday. And also mentioned gall bladder ???? it's not!!

However this morning I bent down to pic up my phone charger and OMG!!!

It felt as though something tore inside of me. I know some pain is normal. But it hurts to bend over, turn over when I'm sleeping and sometimes just standing. Has anyone else had this sort of pain? Was it serious?

I am taking it easy now since the baby is home. I have a tendency to put others before me and now I've potentially hurt myself for doing so.

My largest incision hurt for a while. I will say it was about 6 weeks out that it finally stopped hurting. I also had trouble with pain turning over at night and even standing straight sometimes was problematic. It sounds like you have been doing a lot in this first month and you might be stressed. I was told not to lift anything heavy so be careful of that. If it persists do go see your doctor.

Thank you so much! I'm 4wks out.. I made appt for Thursday but my grandsons circumcision is the same day so I'm going this afternoon to get checked out! Hopefully it's not serious and like you I'll feel much better in two weeks!!

Exactly what the Dr said yesterday! REST!!!! He said I could of possibly caused the beginning of a hernia. So I'm doing nothing! And yes I have absolutely done too much! Thank you so much for Your advice and for sharing your experience ... I'm resting, resting, and resting! Lol its hard but I have come too far to mess something up. Dr orders and instructions are extremely important to follow... Even when life throws things at you its still important to take care of self first!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
