3 Weeks Post Op & Now Getting Pain



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks post-op and have been feeling great up until today. I am gettin "kinks" under my right rib cage. My stomach feels like I have been lifting weighs or something. Has this happened to anyone before? Thanks.

Is it possible it could be an internal stitch that is tugging due to shifting in your belly gravity? I had an ache that was like sore muscles in my stomach at 5 weeks out, and it went away within a week.

I really have felt no pain since my surgery until this morning. I am 4 weeks out and my tummy was so tender. Not pain really, just very tender. Not feeling quite myself either so I am taking it slow today and taking care of myself, Hope you feel better soon!

Did you move anything heavy? Even after the healing period where you can't lift I have pulled my side muscle too hard doing something and been in pain for a few days. I try and still take it easy on my side though I'm almost 3 months out. Do you have your gallbladder still? That can show up as right side pain under your ribs.

Thanks everyone. I don't have my gullbladder and I didn't lift anything heavy. It is not really pain, just discomfort and tenderness and I don't really feel myself today, so I just got home from work and am going to go to bed and relax for the evening and hopefully feel better tomorrow.

      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'. ???

      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.

      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!
