I have a question

I also had open RNY and I had pain EXACTLY where you are talking about almost exactly how far out you are.  I emailed Dr. Baker & he emailed me back that it was probably a pulled muscle (even though I had not been lifting anything either).  It went away though, so I guess he was right.   I don't think I had to have any labs done before the 1st post-op visit, just the 3 & 6 month ones.   Good luck! 

Thanks Wendy. That's a big help. I guess it just takes time to get over this.

Just wanted to let you know Yes! I remember the soreness also. I had open and about 4 1/2 weeks out I remember thinkiing " How long am I gonna be sore" My mind was wanting to GO-GO-GO and my body was wanting to be SLOW-SLOW-SLOW! The soreness did not hurt, it was more of a bothersome thing for me. It just kept reminding me that I was not completely healed.
I worried about my energy level. Everytime I would get up to do the smallest task, I would feel exausted and have to sit for a while. NO FEAR! It just takes time and just keep on keepin on! Little by little you will get stronger and one day real soon, you will realize I HAD A GREAT DAY AND WOW.....MY ENERGY! You will get better & better everyday!

OMG Rhonda. That is exactly how I feel. My mind says go go but my body says no no...lol. And yes, I will feel ok, so I think I will get up and do a little, but then I get very tired and have to go set down for a while. I am looking forward to the day when it doesn't hurt to get in and out of bed. And here it is spring and I want to work in the yard, and plant flowers, but I can't. So I just sit on the porch and tell my wonderful husband where I want the flowers planted...Good thing he loves me!! I know I will feel better soon, and thanks to all of you, you have made me feel so much better about all this. Thank you.......Couldn't do it without you guy's support.
