Yes, it felt like someone was pulling on my insides. Also, I would have pain if I sat for awhile or walked to much. 2 weeks ago my family and i went on vacation to San Fransico. I walked so much and was very sore in the evening but it was the best thing i could have done. I feel back to my energized self minus the over eating.lol It gets so much better...I fell 100% better.

I had surgery on 7/19 and the pain lasted 2 weeks and I was very tired when I went back to work 2 weeks post-op.

I had the same problem and they put me on an antacid prescription. I had bad heartburn too. I'm going to my 5 week follow up next week.

Are you drinking protein shakes? That may help.

It most likely the gas they used to fill your stomach during surgery. Also, the left incision is were they pull the stomach out. It will be sore the longest especially when you sneeze or cough.

Be careful! I had my surgery on the 19th and still get very tired easily. I'm also struggling with pain on my left side and back. Also, I had 2 hernia's repaired that I had no idea I had..not sure if that's why my recovery has been slower. I'm shocked how much longer it has taken me to recover. I had planned on taking my kids to the waterpark my 2nd week off but with the heat there was no way. We are going in a week for our family vacation to San Fran and I hope I'm energized enough for all the walking. good luck!

Its hormones and your body is in shock. I'm having hot flashes still and this is my 2nd week. I'm only 33 too. I hope this goes away soon.

Thank you guys so much!

Yes, closed the incisions. I have 6 incisions and about 20 staples total. I have never had staples before and not sure what to expect.

I'm having my staples removed on Wed. and I'm nervous. Should i take pain killers before my doctors appointment. Any suggestions?
