Post Op 5 days (RNY) and lifted something too heavy, now what?

[KelliM73 4]

Hi Bari-Pals, question for some of you veteran by-pass'ers... I did a boneheaded thing and lifted a bag with three gallons of milk in it and I have a lot of burning and a pulling sensation on my right side near one of my "punctures". Do I just rest, like I am now, and ignore this or do I call my Dr.'s office and fess up. Help, advice needed, please and thanks!

Just to give you ease of mind call your surgeons office and tell them what you did and the systems your having. They will be the best judge of what you need to do.

Let us know what happens and what they say.

Feel better.

I agree - just to be safe you better call in. I don't know anyone who had the same symptom.

I think you need to call your surgeon and tell him everything.He is the only one to take the call on this issue. It is always better to take precautions rather than look for a cure later.I pray all is fine in your case and there will be no need for you to worry.

I did the same thing only I didn't lift anything I coughed suddenly and didn't have time to grab a pillow it's very painful. I hope this soreness goes away soon
