soreness along right side...



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm almost 2 months post op. A few weeks ago i felt like i pulled a muscle on my right side and had some pain. It's since then increased. It starts in the middle of my stomach, right above my ribcage and goes all the way around to the middle of my back. My whole right side feels like there is restriction when I go to move bend a certain way. It's also bad at night when I try to turn over in bed. I don't feel sick or have any symptoms of a fever or anything like that...just a lot of soreness. has anyone else experienced this. It's been going on for a couple of weeks. I would assume if it was a gas pocket, it would have worked it's way out by now? Any info would be great. I've made an appointment to see my family doctor, but can't see her until the 5th of January. And I really don't feel that it's warrant for an Emergency room visit. Thanks!!

Great that you scheduled a doctor appt. I would schedule with the surgeon who did your procedure since s/he knows what they did internally. It could be a pulled muscle, scar tissue, gall bladder or your bowels not emptying completely or something/nothing. Think positive, keep a diary of what you are feeling, eating, and doing. Take with you to the doctor so he can get a full understanding. Good luck.

      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!!

      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.
