Admoninal Pain.



Recommended Posts

So like many I don't want to call the dr. If there's a possibility it's nothing. But Im about a month post op and the past couple days I've been dealing with stomach pain. Literally from my stomach through my lower abdomin. Is it normal, gas, Constipation? Or should I be a little more worried.

why would you not want to call the dr?

they did surgery on you and would offer the advice to come in or not and to see what the problem is (if any).

could be gas. could be Constipation. could be whatever.

but if you are afraid to call the dr now over some pain, what would you do if something is really wrong??

your life/health is worth more than that.

I have to wonder what kind of relationship you have with your doctor if your afraid to call him when your having pain....I know this forum is for asking questions and advice...but if I have pain...you can be sure Im calling my Doctor too.....Good Luck...

Generally, there should be a nurse in the office you could speak with. Don't ever feel like you are bothering the doctor. That's what they are there for. I know sometimes as newbies we feel like maybe we are making too much of something. I would call your doc, speak to the nurse and explain your symptoms they should be able to offer some guidance. It isn't that we don't want to offer suggestions, we just don't want to steer you down the wrong path and want to make sure you are ok.

I hope this passes soon.

Please call your doctor. Your health/life is too valuable to leave to an online forum. Nobody here is in a position to diagnose you. Yes it could be nothing, but what if it's something serious like internal bleeding.... Yes I am trying to scare you. Please, please, please call your doctor, it's his job and responsibility to manage your care.

Good luck.

Also get Miralax. Too much fiber seems to constipate me. So I have Miralax everyday and it seems to help me.

      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.
