3rd day out since my sleeve and experiencing some lower abdominal pain, anyone else have this?

3rd day out since my sleeve and experiencing some lower abdominal pain, anyone else have this?

It's my third day too and I had fever all night long. Now I'm fine. But I keep burping and I still have hiccups. It's really disturbing cuz every time I hiccups my whole abdominal area hurts. I also have chest pains and throat pains.

Consult your hospital discharge instructions. In the ones I received, some of the reasons for contacting your surgeon's office are:

* Temperatures greater than 100.5 degrees F.

* Uncontrolled or increased abdominal pain.

* Chest pain, rapid heartbeat and/or dizziness.

Damantei56....could you have constipation? Sometimes that can be uncomfortable and it's common the week after surgery.

Limaime26....I think you should call your surgeon's office and tell them about your symptoms. They might want to see you or keep track of you.

James....awesome information, as always. Thanks!

As per my discharge papers they say only to call is fever goes to 101.5 F. So, I'll wait and see how today goes by. Thanks for your suggestion.

Be careful with yourself. You just had major surgery. it's ok to give them a call and let them know what's up. I understand your reluctance (I hate going back to the doctor)...but be careful about waiting until the weekend, too. If you're not a lot better by tomorrow morning, give them a call first thing. Hope you feel better soon. Congrats on your procedure!

Thanks a lot. I'll definitely do that.

I had chest pains too. Do you have a drain? My chest pain was from my drain moving around and kind of poking my diaphragm, freaked me out. I did call my surgeon to be sure.

Some people still have minor sore throats from the tube from surgery, but 3 days out seems long. And lol I hope your burping goes away, I'm 9.5 weeks out and I still burp all the time! Luckily it's not quite as bad as the first 5-6 weeks but it's there when I drink especially. Good luck

Yeeps, another reason to keep Mr Miralax close. At,my age my intentinal motility and musclature might not be anything to write home about, I don't want be known as Old Lady Full Of S***!?
