my abdomen feels 'odd'

[zns]

:cry:Im being silly and having a big panic. My stomach area/abdomen has started feeling different and really 'odd' this evening, I cant really describe it but it aches and sort of feels bloated and pushing against the skin. Is this just wind?

 

[Grace]

I don't know but it's very possible, especially since you're struggling to go to the loo.

 

[zns]

Thank you. TMI I managed a small loo trip after some more suppositories but still not good in that department. I think the wind has just moved but its a different feeling and im such a worrier

 

[Grace]

Did your doc give you anything to help? I do think if nothing is better in the morning you should ring your provider. Just to be on the safe side. Erm, too much info again I know, but are you breaking wind? That's a good sign that your gut has normal mobility.

ZNS ring your provider, they may think you need something to help you 'go' so to speak or they may have some advice for you. You haven't mentioned any pain, only a discomfort, is this right? xx

 

[zns]

Thanks guys, I have farted and burped lol. I dont think its pain no, more discomfort and a bloated pressurey feeling in the abdomen. I will call tomorrow as they said to if I was still having bowel issues.

As long as you're passing wind, I don't think it's too serious. But I'm glad you're going to ring in any case. Let us know how you go on honey. xxx

 

[zns]

Thank you.

I shall leave a message in the morning, they might not get back to me until the next day though but will let you know x

ZNS the problem is when you dont go properly for a while you really can get very backed up, I have been amazed at HOW much Poo our bodies can hold, the last time I was in hospital take in mind I never eat anything for over 2weeks, it took me 10 days to be able to go to the loo at all and then days and days to empty, but what Im saying is if you are backed up this will move up and up, and eventually cause pressure upon where your bypass site is, so the sooner you can get relief downstairs the better really.... Hope you get it sorted!!

Did you have your op by open or keyhole procedure? If open, you may have the beginnings of an incisional hernia.

 

[zns]

Thanks guys. I had keyhole. Its fine this morning think it was wind (tmi did a lot of farting lastnight) Have left a message at the hospital about the bowel movement issue so will probably be told to have something heavyduty, dynamite maybe? lol

Mine feels funny too... like its ok on the inside but really tender to the touch on the outside. See my team on the 12th so will chat about it with them then if its not improved!

glad to know things are a bit better now zns hun, lets hopeyou manage to 'go' soon, before the dynamites needed.

ditz hun, my tummy overwhere most of the work was done, just over to the left, sort of under left boob, still gets tender now, 5 months out, but for the first 3 months, was definately very tender, i flinched if it was touched, the team said it was ok, and not to worry, theres a lot of healing to do, and it takes a long time. its definately better now, but still a bit tender.

Thanks hun... its weird b'coz I didn't notice it until 2 weeks out, guess I was just concentrating on the internal feeling & now that feels much better I notice my little outer feelings!

Its so easy to forget how much work we've actually had done isn't it. x

 

[zns]

Funny how the pains and aches change and come and go isnt it.

TMI I finally just had some movement, not much but a bit.
