Recent Surgery Incision Issue
Just had the sleeve on Oct 16th. From the very beginning, one of the incisions has been bothering me. I had the dry heaves for 24 hours following surgery. Now all incisions are pretty much healed except for one. When I press on it I can feel a bulge / bump about the size of my thumb; not directly under the incision but close. it is the incision where I think most of the "action" occurred. It seems to be getting worse. From what I have read, I am wondering if it is an incisional hernia? I see the nurse and dietician October 29th (Monday) so will have them check it out. It if VERY painsful getting into and out of bed and coughing / sneezing. Not too painful while walking / sitting. Anything I should do in the meantime? Anything I should NOT do? If anything is painful, I stop. Any questions I should ask on Monday? I appreciate any suggetions. Heather.
I would call your surgeon and talk to his/her office on the phone. Tell them about it. They may want you to go see them.
The nurse, if anything, will just refer you to the surgeon.
