Painful burning/ ripping



Recommended Posts

Hey I'm exactly seven days post op! And about two to three days post I started to experience this pulling/burning sensation by my biggest incision that hurts like hell for about 30secs every time I moved to walk or bend! The feeling has def gotten less and less haven't felt for a day or so! Any one else experience this? My doc said it's normal!

It sounds pretty normal! My incisions hurt HORRIBLY at first. That was my biggest complaint when I first went home. But it got better and better. Stay active, but don't strain yourself too much.

Yep. That's where I hurt the worst. Glad it's getting better, though!

I would keep an eye on that. Even though I haven't had my sleeve done yet, ive had many other surgeries in my past. That could be a sign of a hernia hapening. Please take it easy. Let your doctor know if it happens again. I herniated, it felt like you explained. Ripping, burning and at one point a explosion for a quick second. Take it easy.

My incisions were a BITCH. lol! I love them though because they represent this huge thing I'm doing. But had a lot of that kind of pain. And then 4 weeks in I was constipated and the easing of that caused me to tear one of my incisions and my healing was set back by 2 weeks. :( Just move as little as possible and take your pain meds or liquid tylenol.

      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.
