Pain under main incision 7 weeks post op...



Recommended Posts

It feels like a bruise, but can’t see one. It feels like it’s inside and not on the surface. It had quit hurting a few weeks post op, but has started hurting again. Anyone else experienced this?

Please see your surgeon. I haven't had my surgery yet but have had two other stomach surgeries. With one I ended up septic and almost died. The other which was a gallbladder removal one of the small incisions got infected. It was like there was a hard lump under the incision and it got a bit swollen. Antibiotics and pain meds took care of that one.

Could that be some bowel movement pains? I had some strange inner pains myself for a couple of days on my 3rd week, but those are gone with some substantial bowel movement

Maybe?? It felt like a bruise under the skin. But the pain is gone now after using a Pain patch last night. Now I’m stressing over a lump I found in my breast a couple of days ago. My Dr. wants me to have another mammogram, but they can’t get me in for another mammogram and ultra sound until Tuesday. :( I just had a mammogram done in August. :-/

      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.
