Cool, I'm going to make enquiries how I can do that here in UK. Thank you.

Thank you both for your comments of support and ideas. I'm guessing these strips that you refer to are in the States, we don't have anything like that here in UK. THanks again

Yikes, I'm 3 days post op and get stitch like sensations under my left rib cage. Reading posts above I'm feeling a little reassured that this is quite likely normal. Thank you.

I'm 3 days post op (17/08/2015), having read some of the suggestions I may take up on them. I'm experiencing "stitch" sensations and can't work out whether I need to be taking in more sustenance or whether it's too much, or is this just the aches of healing? ????????????

Hi, I am now 4 days post op and still feeling quite tender. I really have 100's of questions just to sound off to see that others have/are going through similar incidents as I am. I find the site of where I can only assume my new stomach is quite tight internally and stitch like sensations that come and go, is this usual? All of my bodily functions are signed off as normal and I'm only taking paracetamol during the day. Trying to leave the stronger stuff for bedtime for a good nights sleep. I try to sip fluids throughout the day with a soup for dinner and thinned custards and yoghurts. I just don't know if I'm taking in too much or not enough and why these "stitches" are happening. Any help, guidance would be gratefully received. Thank you
