Hello! I was sleeved 3/29 and also had a hernia repair done at the same time. The last 2 weeks I have had a dull pain in my left side. I just assumed it was my large incision that was hurting. this weekend I finally put together that my pain is actually 2-3 inches above the large incision. It feels better when I have pressure on it and I can feel a smallish lump. Do y'all think this is just a typical pain with hernia repairs or could this mean that this is another hernia/ruptured original hernia? I havent lifted anything more that 15 pounds and have been pretty cautious.

I had pains and lumps that didn't map directly to the incision sites. I think once they are inside, stuff is cut and moved in other locations.

But if pain is getting worse or you have fever, it's time to call the Dr.

I had hernia repair when I got my sleeve. I have a pain that is not directly related to an incision site and it's responds well to a little pressure and support when bending over.

I think it's just a result of all the rearranging of my gizzards while the doc was inside. I have no other pain or fever. My nurse friend says its not worrisome, just irritating. It's all about healing.

If you get a fever or the pain increases unexpectedly, call your physician immediately.

Funny you post this I'm having the same issue...when I went for my two week post op visit I explained to the nurse about the dull pain and that's when she explained to me that the discomfort was do to my hernia repair...that was the first I even knew I had a hernia repair...it is perfectly normal according to my surgical team...

Nope I had same pain. Ended up taking two weeks off of work. The hernia repair was more painful than my sleeve surg.

      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.
