Almost 3 weeks post op sudden pain.



Recommended Posts

About two hours ago I started feeling a dull throbbing pain below my big incision. I'm not sure if something is wrong or if it's just soreness from trying clean my apartment. Does this warrant a hospital visit, or should I just wait until I can make an appointment with my PCP since my surgeon is 200 miles away?

Can't you call your surgeon? I'm sure someone is on-call and can answer a question if you are really concerned.

I'm searching through my stuff for the on call number, but only finding the office staff info. I'll keep looking.

They said it's nothing to worry about, that it's totally normal, but goddamn it hurts.

That happened to me as well today. I did too much i went to the grocery store for a long time. Walked lots. It was a pain id never have felt before. I got home and relaxed and now its better.

We all were doing too much..just because we feel better outside we forget its still healing inside..I ran errands and wore myself out ..came home took some liquids, shower n propped my feet up and felt better instantly....I think that pain was a wake up to gradually get back to yourself but gradually????..hope you feel bweter soon..

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
