Pain 4 Weeks Post Op?



Recommended Posts

Anybody else still having pain? I felt pretty good last week but the past few days i have burning/ pulling on my belly- right side again. Kindof between 2 incisions. This is the only spot that ever really hurt all along.. Nothing major, but sore

Could be muscle pain. The muscles heal slower than the skin. I get a similar burning and I am 4 weeks out as well.

Could be your nerves regenerating . . . I heard that happens about 3-4 weeks out. Or maybe formation of scar tissue? I haven't experienced it myself as I am only two weeks out. I'm curious about what others may think.

All he really had to say about the pain is that the stapler was in the right side, so it will hurt more over there. Didnt seem too concerned, and said i have abdolutely no restrictions to what i can do now. Obviously i will listen to my body, and if it hurts, wont do it ! He also said i can skip my last week of purreed and 2 weeks of soft and just eat what i can tolerate :) i told him I was a bit discouraged about only losing 17 lbs in a month since surgery, but he said 6 lbs per month is a more realistic goal for me since my bmi was barely 35 to start..? Not sure how i feel about that.. Excited to finally eat though! Ha!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
