Confused

Jun 20, 2010

It is 2 weeks out from surgery.  I felt pretty good for the first 2 or 3 days after surgery, then started feeling badly.  A couple of days later, I began feeling really bad and I had a knot under the far left incision from the laproscopic surgery.  I felt so bad!  My husband insisted on going to the ER.  All the tests were good(blood work, CT, etc).  They gave me some pain meds and sent me home.  The knot has gotten bigger, almost the size of a baseball at times.  At first it was more prominent while standing, but now even while laying down it feels quite large while palpating it.  I saw my Dr this past Thursday, he said it is just scar tissue and nothing to worry about.  Seriously though, I just do not feel good about 90% of the time.  I can't bend over without a lot of pain, and feeling like my guts are just getting caught, knotted, I don't know how to explain.  Has anyone else experienced this?  Maybe I am just being a baby.  I just want to feel better.  It hurts to lay down very long, it hurts to be up and doing things for very long.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.  On the upside, I am down 19lbs since beginning the pre op liquid diet.  I know some lose a lot quicker, but it is sure better than I was able to do before the surgery.  Things are really confusing and frustrating at times.  Best of wishes to everyone.
