Pain under main incision 7 weeks post op...



Recommended Posts

It feels like a bruise, but can’t see one. It feels like it’s inside and not on the surface. It had quit hurting a few weeks post op, but has started hurting again. Anyone else experienced this?

Please see your surgeon. I haven't had my surgery yet but have had two other stomach surgeries. With one I ended up septic and almost died. The other which was a gallbladder removal one of the small incisions got infected. It was like there was a hard lump under the incision and it got a bit swollen. Antibiotics and pain meds took care of that one.

Could that be some bowel movement pains? I had some strange inner pains myself for a couple of days on my 3rd week, but those are gone with some substantial bowel movement

Maybe?? It felt like a bruise under the skin. But the pain is gone now after using a Pain patch last night. Now I’m stressing over a lump I found in my breast a couple of days ago. My Dr. wants me to have another mammogram, but they can’t get me in for another mammogram and ultra sound until Tuesday. :( I just had a mammogram done in August. :-/

      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! 😞
