3 days out and hurting ?



Recommended Posts

Hey guys, this is day 3 for me and I'm in a significant amount of pain. Also having a hard time drinking anything because of reflux. Is this normal?

Have you called your surgeon? They can address this with medication.

Incision site pain, drain site pain, shoulder pain, abdominal pain? May be gas, normal healing, overexertion ...

Figure out where it hurts most and that me give you clues to help when you speak to your doctor

Marina, I totally understand what your feeling. I am 5 days post op and am having significant pain, fullness(bloaty), and am also unable to really drink anything. I am hoping this subsides soon. dehydration is my main concern.

Day 3 is the worst. Every day from here on out will hopefully get better. I was where you are now, and felt like it was a mistake. I’m in my third week postop now, and aside from the diet, I feel great. It gets better.

Everything is accurate except I don't have a drain.

I had pain at three days post op. I still have a small area of discomfort after two weeks where my largest incision is.

Are you taking a med for the reflux?

      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!!
