Almost 4 Months post op & stomach muscles are sore



Recommended Posts

I will be 4 months post op gastric bypass on Nov 17 2017. I wanted to find out if anyone experienced sore stomach muscles post op. It feels like I did 100 situps. I havent discussed this with my doctor yet because it happens about a couple times a week but it can last all day. I know that a couple of times when I had to deal with Constipation and I strained myself my stomach muscles became sore but I dont have constipation anymore. So please let me know if you experienced this. I would appreciate it. I will call my doctor today and ask but I also would like to hear from anyone and their experience with this. Thank you

I didn't have this, and am glad you are contacting your doc. At 4 months postop, your abs should be healed from the surgery, I would think...

Fingers crossed everything is ok...

Talked to the nurse. She stated since I had 2 surgeries back to back and that healing varies person to person not to be concerned. I had 2 ultrasounds & cat scan last month and nothing there. Doctor is not alarmed so I will continue to update him and continue to allow more time to heal

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
