2 Week Post Op Appt Today- Pain with hematoma



Recommended Posts

Hello,

Had my post op 2 week follow up today.

Woke up in severe pain this morning and was so glad that I already had the follow up appointment scheduled for today.

Only one incision is bothering me... still quite a bit of bruising there.

But the severe pain I am having is on my left front side (away from the incisions). It is a sharp, sore, shooting pain that only goes away a little when I lay down.

Today, I found out what it is. The doctor said it is a hematoma (I had to look it up when I got home). He said it can cause quite a bit of pain, but that it will go away.

I was just wondering, has anyone else out there had this problem and how long did it take for it to go away ( I know everyone is different, just curious).

Thanks,

:)

I had an almost burning sensation away from the incisions, like my skin was literally on fire. My doc just looked at me and said "huh?" It went away the next day. Hopefully, it's just as quick for you.

Wow. I haven't felt anything like that. It sure is interesting to hear other people's experiences on here.

Glad your pain quickly went away for you. And thank you, I hope mine goes away soon. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
