How concerned should I be?



Recommended Posts

I'm 9 days post op and have a huge amount of back pain, it starts in the middle of my back and radiates up my left side. I spoke to my doc and he said it sounds muscular and to rest. I've also noticed I have a slight fever, 99.2 and my heart rate is roughly 95. I just feel crappy. Any possibility this could be a leak?

I had ( still have a little) the same thing. My surgeon and pic both said it was from laying on the flat surgical table so long. My chiropractor agrees as well. Take some Tylenol for now, no adjustments for at least 6 weeks tho. Walking helps a bit and I also got a back massager that helps too.

My back by my left scapula was hurting most of the morning, but now it's gone. I think I over did it yesterday. It's always good to check with your doctor.

      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! 😞
