Did anyone else have a lot of pain in the area of the lower right incision?



Recommended Posts

First of all, I'm not a wimp and have had a lot of surgery over the years. I expected to pop back from this like I did from Lapband and hysterectomy. Of the 5 incisions, 4 do not hurt at all. But my lower right side is killing me! It was getting better but I had some vomiting last night, so now it's killing me again, like it did right after surgery. I'm 5 days post op and still taking pain meds, which is totally not like me. I normally don't even have the pain meds filled at the pharmacy.

That lower right incision is dented in deep, which is weird to me too. Anybody else experience this?

I go back to work on Tuesday.....only took a week off because I'm such a fast healer. Ugh!

I see the surgeon tomorrow for follow up.

Do you have one incision area that hurts a lot more than the others?

Mine is the same one, the lowest right one. The bruise is expanding and it's also indented but that's the one they took your stomach out of and I'm pretty sure they used bigger tools for that. You will be better soon! Mine still hurts, actually it's the only thing that hurts. But it gets easier to get up and down every day

Mine was the same way, very dented in and always a painful pulling sensation on that one incision, luckily by day 5 as the swelling started going down it wasn't dented in and the pain lessened, now at 9 days post op barely feel it at all mainly only when bending down

      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.
