7 days Post OP



Recommended Posts

I am 7 days post OP I had a hernia repaired and the sleeve done and I'm having issues with left shoulder pain which seems to be worst when I sip my liquids.

I also have a ,what feels like a gas bubble in my chest when I sip.

My doctor said he may need to scope me if it does not go away by tomorrow

SCOPE !?!?! I'm already in pain !

I've been told you have shoulder pain after abdominal surgery due to then putting air to fill your stomach up. I've had multiple abdominal surgeries and have encountered this pain. I,however, have not had the sleeve yet. Best wishes & I hope you feel better soon!

Yes, agreed that the shoulder pain in air (gas) that was pumped during the surgery. Passing gas and time will relieve it! I am 4 days post op so I am with y’all in solidarity! :) Hope everyone feels better asap!

Left shoulder pain is from the hernia repair. My surgeon warned me about this several times. I have not had an issue with it. I do still have gas pains and just hoping it will work itself out soon.

      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!!
