Internal stitches pain



Recommended Posts

I was told that around day 14 or 15 the internal stitches that were placed would tear internally and that I may feel it or I may not. Well I feel it!! Really weird sensation and super uncomfortable... Every time I move it is worse..... I haven't had pain Meds since day 4 but I took some today.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it just last a day?

I have been feeling a kind of burning pain whenever I stand or turn when lying or sitting down. I dont feel it when I'm walking unless I stretch.

It has scared the crap outta me.

Hey Jennna! Luckily the pain only lasted about 48 hrs, I am feeling better now! Hope you start feeling better too!

Hey, I started having some pain in the area where the largest incision was too. I noticed it when laying down and when I changed positions in bed. It's not excruciating, it just feels like a bit of discomfort. I thought it was just my abs sore from some fun time with the Mrs., but its lingered for the past 2 days. At what point is this an actual problem?

I would say as long as it is bearable pain you are okay. It may also be your internal stitches but it may just be sore! It shouldn't last more than 72 hrs if it's the stitches, but if it becomes to bothersome I would give your doc a call.

I had it -- in my case it lasted about 5 days because I overdid it one day. I had to take the pain meds then too. But they dissolved and it went away.

      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!
