Guest guest Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 ok... i went to my regular doctor today and he poked and proded a bit and listened to my belly and said i had " good bowel sounds " . he ordered an abdominal ultrasound which i will take tomorrow morning because it needs to be on an empty stomach - no food or water after midnight. he thinks it's just a pulled muscle... i did lift something kind of heavy on saturday - what the heck was i thinking? i post when i know > > Deb > I too had this excruciating pain below one of my incisions (I had LAP) that lasted a few weeks. My surgeon said it was common where the nerves were regenerating and encountering scarring and that it would go away. It did. > > That being said, do not rely on the group's advise for BIG PAIN. Always, always, contact your surgeon immediately. Waiting can delay healing should something be wrong. Your surgeon needs to know any problems you encounter asap so proper intervention can be started if needed. He should be the only one to dismiss pain as normal. > > Good Luck. > > ~~Pat~~ > Orlando, FL > 252/193/160 (-59) > BMI 37.2/28.5/23.6 > 52 Years Young > LAP-RNY 12/10/03 > Wayne English, MD > Ft Lauderdale, FL > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
