Stomach pains

[YoBL 80]

I’m 5 days post op RNY. I have these sporadic pains in my stomach. Any idea of what they are?

Generally I would refer to the hospital discharge instructions that you were given when you left the hospital. These instructions generally provide a list of symptoms that should trigger you calling your surgeon's office. The third item on my list reads "uncontrolled or increased abdomen pain." So if your symptoms match that condition, then I would contact the surgeon's office and let them know what is going on.

I've had and continued having some mild to moderate pains in my stomach, especially on the left side. I saw my surgeon at my 2 week post visit. He declared me healing well. He told me that those pains were normal, healing pains and if I had blood in my stool, was vomitting, or the pain was more than tylenol could help then I needed to come back and see him.

The first 2 weeks were the most painful, not surprising considering all they messed with on our insides.

Hey guys, I’m started trying purées yesterday and today I’ve been having this pain that creeps in gets pretty intense and then goes away. Has anyone experienced this?

Sounds like a cramp. Chat to your dietician see if you need to delay purees for a day or two and slowly introduce.

Thanks definitely will delay the purées
