Stomach pain at 6 weeks out?



Recommended Posts

Hello,
I had surgery June 6th, and I just vomited for the first time after surgery and now I have pin-needle like pain in my stomach area. Does that happen with others who puke? Is this normal? I puked because I had shredded chicken with too much mayo made by my mom while at work.
I can't take anything from work for the pain, they only got aspirin. I also have the incision near my belly button that will not fully heal, there is a small deep hole that gushes fluids out. I dunno if it is related to it. Here is a picture of it. IMG_2808.JPG.384b275578c169b44f6f09292c59874e.JPG
Let me know what you think.

IMG_2804.JPG here is with the bandaid from my PC doctor (Primary Care) the Fluid kept coming out and I didn't know if it was even good for the wound to be covered by the fluid so I took it off after 2 days.

I can't advise about the vomiting, nor the after effects. My only time so far was after my first pieces of ice after surgery.
What has your surgeon said about your incision? Some people are slow healers, but if you're draining, that might mean other things that your surgeon would likely be interested in knowing. Not so much your primary care, unless they have extensive experience in abdominal surgeries maybe.
So, your needle like pain is not at the weepy incision, but your stomach?

The first looks like mine did. I ended up having an allergic reaction to the glue they used. It was itchy and red. The 2nd picture you should have checked as soon as possible. My incisions weren't covered. Could get infected. Good luck to you.

I read ozzing was normal. It doesn't look infected to me. I wouldn't freak out and go to ER but I would follow up with Surgeon next day

I'd have it checked out- I'm 5 weeks out and all of my incisions are healed well. I never had anything looking like this even at the beginning. Please have it checked out.

It isn't normal for the incisions to ooze after the first 2 days. After 6 weeks, they should be pretty much all healed up. This is definitely in need of attention. I would worry less about the pain after vomiting, but do let your surgeon know what you're feeling, all the same.

Good luck getting it sorted out!

      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.
