Oh the pain....

[MsBrown76 43]

I’m five days post-op RNY and today it feels like my insides are being ripped apart. I’ve barely been able to get liquids in today I feel full. I do sip and sip slowly. I took two pain pills about an hour and a half ago pain has subsided some, but I’m still hurting. Is this because I’m too full, sat wrong? My stomach is hard and i made sure my binder is not too tight. I haven’t had a BM since the day before surgery. I’m taking stool softeners as directed by my physician. I’m passing gas and burping especially when I walk. I’m not sure what this may be or what to do.

This is a call to your doc hon. Your tummy shouldn't be hard at this point and I would think the pain should be reducing. It kinda sounds like you need a good poo. But then, that's my answer to everything. Call the doc... also I didn't have a binder.< /span>

Please take Fluffys advice, she is One Smart Chickadee, I have profited much from Her Advice and I Too think THIS IS A" Call the Doctor" time!

I’ve already put in a call to my doctor just waiting for a call back. My stomach is tighter than normal and the pain is pretty much all over but primarily in the upper abdominal region as a sharp shooting or squeezing pain. I feel it move into my chest a time or two. If I move to get out of bed and/or begin to walk I get nauseated. I call it the slimes it’s just clear saliva that I spit out.

It might be ER time. Can you keep liquids down? Do you feel hot like you're running a fever?

Liquids stay down now fever or any other symptoms just pain.
