cutisnurse21 4 Posted July 18, 2012 Does anyone have this issue with the biggest incision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minckle 87 Posted July 18, 2012 How far out are you? Week 3, I had nerve pain where it felt like it was ripping and on fire. Especially when I sneezed or coughed. Unfortunately, that's pretty normal. Wearing an abdominal brace for a few days and massaging around the area really, really, really helped me. 1 Looking Ahead reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TaniaB 37 Posted July 18, 2012 Yes had major ripping burning pain from week 2-4. Woke up on my 4th week and pain gone, but becareful turning in bed has caused me to tear it again.... Standing at first hurts but the longer your up the pain goes away. Hope it heals fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leusch 2 Posted July 18, 2012 I had the same sort of pain for several weeks( im 8 weeks out now.) Mine was complicated by the development of a seroma. My surgeon had to reopen the incision for it to drain. That said, that incision is the one through which they remove the excised stomach. It's going to hurt more than any other. And yes, that loss is entirely possible in a week. At two weeks out, I'd lost 32lbs, including 8 from pre-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaysonsmom 59 Posted July 18, 2012 I have been having a lot of pain with the incision. I've been to the er twice now cuz I can get any relief. I can't stand up to walk, cant do my exercises cuz I can't stand straight. Only thing that helps is dilaudid and I can't take that home obviously. Ugh I wish it would disappear.

kaysonsmom 59 Posted July 18, 2012 Docs are just saying its pain from the trauma of everything coing out and being pulled. I dont understand how proper can have no pain after this surgery. I get irrotatedcuz my mom will say "u just had a major surgery, u will have some discomfort." If it was discomfort I could handed it. I have fibroyalgia so I know all about discomfort.
