Hello again. So two days ago I pulled a bad mommy and picked up my 2 year old son (those darn baby eyes). The rest of the day I was fine, but the next day I woke up and layed on my left side and Had a very sharp pain under the left side of my ribs. It hurt whenever I moved, ate, and especially when I would breathe in deep. Today it wasn't as bad, but I can't turn certain ways and it definitely hurts when I breathe in deep, but it does feel better. I am afraid I may have pulled something, but my biggest fear is a hernia. I called the surgery clinic and they said if it hurts bad go to the emergency room, but on a scale of 1-10 I am probably a 3 or 4 steadily, so it doesn't seem like an emergency to me. So my question really is does it sound like something any one of you may have had? If so what was it?

i pulled things a couple of times, mostly just stretching too far puts a tug on the incisions. If it feels better I wouldn't worry too much. Just pay attention for things getting worse and tell your sweet baby Mommy has to take care of herself for a few weeks and just give him hugs without picking him up!

thanks. it's so hard sometimes lol after 2 days the pain did go away thankfully. I returned to work today and was able to make it the whole shift without any pain. still can't eat much, but it's not pain that does that. it's nausea.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
