Pain under my large incision 2wks post op



Recommended Posts

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this ,I read another thread but there pain was under there arms or in there shoulders,mine is a totally different place,it is tender to the touch, I am trying not to freak out. I have a support meeting in 2days will ask nurse if it doesn't get any worse by then. But it also my "time" would this cause the pain from all the bloating? Just curious. thanks everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I'm 5 weeks post op, and I too, have had pain right under my large incision. Now that you mention it, it was most bothersome during TOM, but also if I've eaten a larger meal... I'm getting a fill this week so hopefully those larger meals will be a thing of the past.

Well that's 3 of us, although my pain went away after a few days - I was told that it's something to do with the port being stitched into the muscle - but I'm not sure how.

My surgeon said the pain was because my port is sewn into the muscle. He said it would take a little more time to stop feeling pain there.

I don't know where my port is... my surgeon told me it would be right around my ribs and I have a small incision there with a bump under it... I think that's my port... so I still don't know about the pain with the large incision. I see my surgeon this week for a fill so I'll find out where my port is I guess.

Right under my large incision where my port is located was tender for couple weeks also but what made it worst was... I got sick and everytime I cough the port would push against my incision which wasnt a pleasent experience cause i was in tears sometime with the amount of pain. So now i'm not sick and my port area is little tender but i can manage.

      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.
