Can anyone help? Bladder or hernia idk



Recommended Posts

Okay so I am three and a half weeks out from surgery at two and a half weeks I felt great I can pretty much eat what I'm supposed to eat at this point but there is pressure that I feel around the belly button region and below it feels like there's pressure on my urine bladder.... Was thinking about going to ER. but trying to tough it out not sure what it is. when I lay on my side or a little on my stomach there is relief. and I wake up almost feeling normal. but then about an hour after walking around it comes back and gets worse as the day goes on. can anyone help

Do you think it is incision pain? Did they go through your belly-button? Do you know if you did anything strenuous, like lifting more than 10lbs? If you are uncertain, CALL YOUR SURGEON! Don't wait for complications to arise. Your surgical team should be able to advise you as to what to do. You know, I would call them anyway, just to be on the safe side. You DID pay them for this! Good luck and let us know how you are!

It feels like its through belly button. There are two incisions one to right and left of belly button. But it's hard to tell because it resonates all around and feels like pressure on urine bladder. I had surgery in mexico. No insurance lmao karma I guess. I called them they said take advil ....gee thanks advil really?

The only time I think I could of hurt it. Is when my daughter fell and I sat up super quick to see what happened.

Felt a twinge from that.

But didnt think anything of it really

I'm guessing you probably strained the incisions, but to be sure, why not call a bariatric surgeon in your area? They can probably make you an appointment. Do you notice any redness or swelling? Does it hurt to touch it? Is there a bulge under the skin? That might indicate a hernia. Do you have an Urgent Care facility near you? It might be advisable to go in if you are concerned. How about a Primary Care Physician (PCP) - do you have one? I think it would be good to see them as soon as you can, so you don't have to deal with complications. Let us know how you do, OK? Take care...

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
