I Feel A Stabbing Pain In My Large Incision



Recommended Posts

Anyone else have this? I was running errands all day and feel like I may have overdone it but want to check with you guys. No fever, no chills just a really sharp stabbing pain. I was sleeved 1/31/12

Thanks

I was sleeves on 2-13, and I felt that since day one. Today I found out that the muscle under that incision was torn and they stiched it so that's why I'm having so many pains there.

However your surgery was way before me and you should have noticed it before so I doubt that's what it is, tho it's one possibility.

Good luck and I hope you discover the cause very soon.

My surgeon told me that all who get sleeved have a muscle cut through then stitched. It is necessary to cut the muscle in order to get to the stomach. I too got a stabbing pain where that muscle was cut and stitched. It went away after about three weeks after surgery.

I was having a sharp pain on my left side a couple of days ago so I called my Doctor and he said that I had overdone it. There is a muscle they have to go through to get to your stomach. I was told to slow down and it is feeling alot better nowl. Hopefully you've just done the same and it will get better soon but remember if you have any doubt call your Doctor and ask him.

Yup - I have (had) it. It's getting so much better. But if I overdo it I know it because that's the center of any pain I feel. Doc says four weeks seems to be the magic number for this pain going away. Feel better!

      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.
