Massive stomach ache. Warning TMI

I hate having to post this but I need some help. I am 4 weeks post op and having some issues.

Since yesterday I have felt absolutely awful. I've had diarrhea, a massive stomach ache and everything I put in my stomach hurts. Even when I bend down it hurts. I have no fever, no chills and my heart rate is normal. Have any of you gone through this?

You should call your surgeon's office. If you can't even keep liquids down you could get dehydrated and being only 4 weeks out-call!

yes, contacting your surgeon's office is the way to go. WIth this kind of physical issue you should always ask your surgeon's office.

I just contacted my Dr.'s office and they have put me back on a liquid diet till this passes. I need to watch my pee for the next day to make sure it's not super dark, if so I will be sent to the ER for an IV.

Oh good, I'm so glad you called! I know it seems like you don't want to bother them but it's important to reach out when you are in physical distress. I made a total nuisance of myself but I didn't care because in the long run me being healthy and safe was my end goal - and theirs too. Good luck! I hope you are feeling better soon!!!
