Pain where Largest incision is



Recommended Posts

I am 9 days out from gastic bypass. I went back to work Monday and I feel good except for the pain in my incision closest to my belly button.. It only hurts when I have gas trapped and when I get up from a low chair and bed wrong it feels like a sharp pain for a second.. Has anyone experienced this? I went to the Dr Tuesday and she said she had to cut something because it looked like the start of a hernia and that is what I am experiencing, Has anyone experienced this? It's like the pain when you get a stich in your side from running but only when I twist a certain way... I am not hungry but my senses have really heightened.. I smell food when its around.. I really am not hungry but it sure smells good...

Hi I'm not back to work yet 2 weeks from bypass. I seen my doctor yesterday and told him about the pain I feels above my belly button incision and it sharp pain that I have been having since Saturday once a day it last less then a minute. He told me that's around the area port was at and should go away. I'm not sure what that meant but I said ok.

      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.
