My husband is 6 weeks post DS. Today he started with a sharp pain at the top of the incision but it only happens when he stands up, sits down, or stretch. Has anyone else experienced this???

I had pain like that which began about 2 weeks after surgery and then a large egg shaped nodule formed under my incision site... I ended up hurting all the time, not just with moving or stretching like at first, so after a week of suffering I went to see my surgeon. It turned out to be an infection at the incision site. He drained it and put me on antibiotics and I almost immediately felt better. If hubby gets any worse or doesn't feel better in a day or two, have him call the surgeon's office. That's what they're for and they know exactly what they are looking at. Tell him not to wait for fear of bothering them like I did... Hope he feels better soon!

Thank you all for your input and experiences. My husband had appointment with the surgeon this week, however the ARNP assessed him over the phone with a muscle strain.

      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!
