Anyone else still in pain?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved Oct 17. So almost 2 months post but I am still having pains! wth??!! Its not constant but enough to start making me concerned. Its a sharp stitch type pain. Usually happens with sudden movements or when I try to lie on my stomach or either side in bed. Couple days ago it was SO sharp I yelled out in pain. It is on left side which I know the whole "most work" story. Ive discussed with my surg and was told I cud have pain up to 3-4 months. But just curious.....am I the ONLY one. Im already a slow loser....now im a slow healer?? smh

Thanks for your topic!! I was wondering how long the pain will last. I just had my surgery on monday and had five incisions. Only one on my right side still hurts. Everybody heal different. My cousin had the bypass nov 26 and she only needed pain meds once at the hostipal and is feeling great.

I had surgery on 11/15 and like you I have stabbing pain depending on how I move on the left side between the left and center incisions. The two incision sites themselves aren't really sore much, but the area in between... WOW.. some days are worse than others, but there are times where it feels like a knife and it burns. I did ask the about 2 weeko and they said that was the side where most of the work was done a the stomach was pulled through. I go back this Friday and plan to discuss it again. Makes getting in and out of the car a real treat.

You aren't alone!

Oh man. Great to hear im not alone. Ive been going thru heck with this. And yep I relate to the not being able to move. Matter of fact only THREE weeks ago. So bad that I got very concerned about returning to work. I have a very physical job at railroad yard throwing heavy railroad switches being one of my duties. So im thinking NO way can I go back to work! (been off SINCE surgery). So I had some muscle relaxers from a previous injury. Since my surg was saying "the pain is muscular" lol I decides to take one....BAD MOVE. Ended up in E.R. So off the M.R. (it DID stop the pain tho) and back came the pain lolbvs. Cant win.

      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.
