Pain

[kmiller 146]

hi all. I'm 3 weeks and 1 day post op. I am still having discomfort in my abdomen. Has anyone else had this for this long?

[KimW 38]

Yes, mine felt better shortly after that. Hang in there!

My tummy always gets tender when I need to have a bowel movement or if I have gas!

I'll be 4 weeks out on Monday and I still have discomfort in my left side. I think it's getting better every day though. I still have some of the skin glue and a scab (gross, sorry) and a bit of a lump on that incision site. Wondering how long that will take to go away.

Jen, I had exactly the same thing in exactly the same place. In my case, I know it was the incision the surgeon made for the drain. I don't recall how long it took for it to go away but it does go away eventually. I'm guessing a couple of months.

Same thing. I'm 3 weeks and 3 days post op and the most discomfort is on my left side. My incision site still hurts, but that is to be expected since I was an open revision.

I am still sore. Have things gotten better with u? We both had revisions about two weeks apart.

Hi mignonsmom!

I'm doing pretty good. I'm not losing very fast,though. I have to be honest in that I really haven't been doing any exercising other than just every day stuff, but tomorrow I go to the gym and meet with a trainer. Was your previous surgery a gastroplasty?

K, my last surgery was a RNY. But after 16 years it formed a fistula. Three years of doctors trying to figure out what was wrong. I had gained back about 40lbs. But I was so sick the weight did not matter. I was just so sick of being sick. I feel guilt about loosing weight because I just did not want to be sick. I am trying to get happy. I lost my mom and then planned for surgery it took my insurance 8 months to give the ok.

Let me know how the trainer goes. I was told to wait a bit longer for the gym. But I see both my surgeon and primary doctor on Friday. I am hoping to get to the gym after that. I am doing free gym memberships to find a gym that works with my crazy days. I am also in school so if I can start a routine the gym is cheap.
