3 Days Post Op And Side Pain!



Recommended Posts

Did anyone else have side pain? I think its gas, not anything serious and I talked with dr office and they didnt seem too worried. I think I have read about this a few times on here but I'm a worry wart! Also, they gave me permission to switch to children's tylenol if I want but didnt tell me dosage- any ideas? I dont think i need full strength pain meds but just a little something to help. And lastly, dr office said I could boat this weekend just not lift anything or get incisions wet which is what I expected, does that sound right? My doctor seems to be very liberal compared to most, no pre op diet change whatsoever and really no other rules. Super excited to start losing.

Sitting in a boat in nice calm Water would be fine. Speeding across the water in a bumpy boat would be excruciating, I would think.

I'm thinking of not sitting up front and having fiancé take it easy just miss being out on Water and last year we had so much flooding in Sd we didn't get to go often! I totally agree being bounced around would be horrible- a lot depends on wind for how the water is I guess so hoping for. 5 to 10!

i had the side pain for about 10 days, it felt like a bad pulled muscle over the port on the left side. i was so bored after 2 days at home that i went and did some lite xmas shopping, i felt that good !. The fresh air and a little walking made all the difference. just take it realllllll slow and easy, including the boating and getting in and out of the boat, etc..... Have fun !

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
