Hernia question

Have any of you ended up with a hernia after surgery? IF so, how long before it showed up? What were the symptoms/ indications? The last two or three days I feel fine, but when I eat/ drink I feel like crap. Placing my fingers between the breast on the breastbone and go down about 3 inches is where it feels like I've over eaten, but I've only been eating 1/2 to 3/4 a normal meal for us. It's not pain, it's just like a heavy discomfort and it is starting to annoy me.  Food wise, nothing is appealing at all. I haven't had anything come back up. At first I thought maybe I just ate to fast or didn't chew well, but it's happening at every meal. I'm tempted to just go back to the very basics and just drink and have protein shakes. But as I sit here, I'm just drinking some crystal light and even that instigates it.

Doesn't sound like a hernia. Maybe an ulcer?  But you KNOW what we are going to tell you:  call your surgeon in the morning!  And yes, let us know what he says.  And yes, maybe getting back to basics for a few days will help.  Let us know what the surgeon says.  And I am sorry to hear you are not feeling well when you eat.  What a trip this ride is, eh?

I have no idea, but as Suzanne suggested, please call Dr. Mitchel. It may be nothing, it may be something ... either way, let him take a look and then let us know what the outcome is.

P.S. Do you still have your gall bladder? Could be that.

I had some very serious WLS complications last fall and all I felt was some moderate Reflux.  I thought I'd be in the office get some nexium and on my way.  Boy was I way wrong. Call your Surgeon asap!
