Soreness at incision spots?



Recommended Posts

I've been walking a mile every day. Today after my walk I noticed that two of my incision spots were sore and raw after walking, I think its from my shirt rubbing against them...anyone else ever have this?

I'm trying to see when your surgery was. When was it? Here recently I have had some tenderness but I thinkit was from where my pants were rubbing on that lowest left side incision.

Of course I had issue with pain in the beginning, but I am 5 weeks out now...

I am 5 weeks out tomorrow and I still have soreness in the largest incision. My belly is actually puckered in where the sewed up my insides to the muscle wall. I wonder if it will ever feel better! :-(

Mine stayed like that for quite a while. As the weight comes off things are leveling out. I can feel the tightness of the muscles seemingly from the incisions.

I am 5 days out from surgery and the only two places that hurt are where they cut inside. Both the stomach and the intestines. I noticed that the lower of the two is bruised today also. I was hoping this would go away quickly.

One of my incision areas is still bruised at almost 6 weeks out. They were all bruised in the beginning and the one that is left still is the upper right sided one.

The incision where they pulled the stomach out pained me for over 5 weeks. My surgeon says some people take 4-6 weeks to heal. I had the burning and ripping open feeling. Finally after 4 weeks it's starting to calm down. Hang in there!

I had a hiatal hernia repair and the surgeon had to pull my stomach down from the chest cavity into the abdomen. That is sore.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
