Pain after 3 and a half weeks



Recommended Posts

Hi! Er defiantly an option but I just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced this. I'm waiting for a call back from my doc. I'm post op 3 and a half weeks and for the past 3 days I have pain in my main incision site. When I sit, get up, move or walk a certain way it feels like something is pulling. I assume its because I had major surgery in that area and is healing but I feel like it was better and now more noticeable. Everything so far was pretty Uneventful and I've been following doctor's orders. My one month is this Fri but I may just get checked now to be safe. Any similar experiences please let me know!! Thx in advance

I had the exact pain on my right side 3 weeks out. It lasted almost exactly a week. I was told by my doctor is was the muscles & nerves healing.

Thank you that makes perfectly good sense. I'm glad I'm not alone!

I know how you feel. I was a nervous wreck. I could barely stand up straight. Hope it goes away quickly for you :)

yeah totally normal, i had the same thing at 3 weeks out. My doc said that it can also be because of bending to much, basically just irritating the area. I still get pain there to a much lesser degree if i do a lot of bending over.

      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.
