Side hurts, incision has a lump under it

I'm 6 days post conversion from LB to RNY

Today my left side is sore as if I've pulled an abdominal muscle. The incision on that side is the larger of all and also closest to where my port was located. There is a "lump" under the incision that none of the other's have. The skin around that incision is yellow.

It is 4pm and I just realized I haven't peed at all in the last 8 hours of being at the office...even though I've been pretty impressed with myself on my fluid consumption. So now I'm just on the edge of feeling concerned. Just the edge...not enough to head straight to the doctor.

Having a rough emotional day...trying to come to terms with the fact my husband may not actually be as supportive of a person in life as one would want to be married to...in general (not just in regards to the RNY). Trying to reconcile in myself how to deal with that. This downward emotional spiral started last night. It's so bad that I changed my FB stuff so that he doesn't get my status updates anymore, because I don't want to have to deal with those conversations anymore. How ridiculous is that? To block your husband from your status updates?

Now I'm crying again. UGh.

I'd closely monitor your temperature. If you don't want to see the doc you might consider just calling.

Id imagine most surgeons are used to dealing with nervous patients thinking something is wrong.

I was in the ER less than 48 hours after I got home thinking i was dying.

A few thoughts:

1) call your dr this morning an mention the lump. I personally had a lump under my belly button but it was a fancy stitch he made and nothing more.

2) drink as much as you can you need to pee and poop...

3) If you are blocking your husband from your FB page updates, maybe look at what you are posting and to whom.

4) If you have not already, maybe look into seeing a therapist to discuss issues with.

HUGS! it does get better!!

I think I let my potassium get too low. The medical things are starting to resolve already just by taking my horrid liquid potassium as I'm supposed to.

I know it's difficult for others to understand my reasoning for hiding FB posts...but it's not lurid or inappropriate posts. It's about wanting to do things, attend events, participate in life that I'm tired of his judgment about so I'd rather not even share it with him so I don't have to have the conversations that essentially hurt my feelings anymore. Posts like "Would anyone like to join my friends and I at this scrapbooking event this weekend?"....turns into a "I don't know why you post that, people don't care about those kinds of things". He did it with all my Girl Scout things I was doing as I lead a troop for his 2 daughters the last two years...finally driving me to quit because I couldn't stand his judgment for doing things for others that he considers a "waste of time". I actually LIKE doing things with others, helping others, volunteering at events. And I like encouraging others to join. He would rather do nothing. It's not pictures of me half dressed or flirting with other people. So no...I'm sorry...but it's not about me changing what I post or to whom.

yes sounds like there is a lack of support from what you are saying or that he doesn't feel you are spending your time the way he wants you too.
