post op pain

[Daisee68 2,493]

@Annie_Smith - I did have those issues and it turned out to be a stricture (narrowing of stomach exit due to scar tissue overgrowth). It is easily diagnosed and corrected with an EGD and balloon dilation. If you continue to vomit, you should press your surgeon into doing an EGD. If he won't, you should be able to find a GI Dr who will.

My worst pain barely hit a 4. Not bad at all.

I hit a 7

But left the hospital at 4 the next day.

How would you rate your post-op pain on a scale of 1 -10, with ten being the worst pain ever and one being less?

I'm 24 hours out. My abdomen feels like they did when I was 18 and decided I was going to get in shape by starting with 150 sits ups all at once. That's it. Maybe up to a 4. Mostly 2-3. In fact, the situps probably hurt more. I kayaked a lot this summer and used a cheap rower from Walmart for a couple of weeks before surgery. Plus I amped up my Protein and cut down as much as possible on carbs and fats. Worked well for me. Good luck.

I just had bypass 10 days ago . The pain was minor compared to my knee replacement . The worst problem I had was I caught a cold and did a lot of coughing and that was annoying but not painful. 10 days out now and I feel fine

I have another question. I am in my 4th week now and still cannot eat puree nor solid food. When I try to eat either I throw up and I noticed that there is mucus present. I also cough really bad during the time I throw up because of the irritation. I have gone to the doctor and he says I will have to wait a little longer due to some people take longer than others to reach the puree time. I'm a little worried. I am getting my Protein down for the most part but still experience discomfort from that from time to time. Please help!!!

Annie, I want to ask you how fast is your weight coming off since you still can't eat?

I have lost a lot. I am now 179. I can eat a little more now but it still varies.

I had a lot of pain post op but was under control when I left the hosp after just 1 day. After the 2nd day home, the pain under the left lap incision was unbearable. I didn't go home with pain meds. I had to be readmitted for pain control but it got way better after 1 day. It is thought that I may have developed a hematoma on the left . I was virtually pain free after day 8.

Had surgery today and the gas pain (2x) was unbearable.... Morphine drip helped that and now (20 hrs later) I have some pain relief drip but mostly feel like I have done 2000 sit-ups! So worth it! The first day of the rest of my life!!
