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

      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! 😞
