Scared to death



Recommended Posts

I got up yesterday morning with a very sore port site. It feels like the day after youve been hit in the stomach. It hurts when I put any kind of pressure on it. It also kind of feels like I have pulled a muscle. This is the wierdest thing, and it truly scares me because its nothing I have experienced before.

I guess in the back of my mind Im wondering if I have hurt myself, because I have been doing a lot of overeating lately?????

Help, what could this be......slippage, erosion, flipped port.....those are all the things I have read about.....what do Ya'll think?:thumbup:

Waiting all weekend without knowing something is going to drive me nuts. On top of the discomfort I feel so weak and fatigued. I havent done anything all day except lay on the couch. Everytime I get up to do something I get so winded...this just started yesterday too......Im really scared!

Call your doctor, NOW or go to the emergency room. Don't wait until Monday. Don't feel like you are inconviencing him... his job is to take care of you and he knew he would would be on call 24 hours a day when he went into this profession.

      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.
