Weird soreness on my stomach? Did anyone have this?



Recommended Posts

a week after surgery I ended up with an infected incision site that turned out to be staff infection. At the end of week two once the infection was about cleared up I started having this weird pain on my side between the infected wound and another incision but not directly at an incision point. I thought at first it was maybe just from wearing close again and that they were rubbing my stomach but the pain has continued. It's a weird pain. It's not like an inside pain or a soreness pain. It's feels like my skin is very very sunburned. It hurts to rub my hand across the particular area and when on a bumpy road it hurts to bounce but it's a weird hurt. It's almost like it burns. Has anyone experienced anything like this or do you think I should be worried?

i had an area on my stomach that was like that. i didn't hurt like it was infected - it would just burn. i called my doctor and he told me it was nerves trying to repair themself. i'm 2 mos out and that feeling has been gone for about a month or so....

Is the pain on/in your skin or underneath? What does your skin look like - any redness or peeling? Do you feel any heat or hardness when you touch it?

What did they give you to treat the staph infection?

I took Augmenten for 10 days for the staff infection. It doesn't look red or any different than any of my other skin it just burns gives a burning feeling when I touch it. It doesn't feel hot and it's not peeling or anything. If it didn't feel like a bad sunburn you would know nothing from the look of it. But it even hurts for my clothes to touch it.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
