Just curious because our start weights are similar, and my goal is to get to your current weight- do you exercise like a maniac? Or just normal, or at all? I am almost 6 months out, and my weight loss has slowed considerably. I am trying to incorporate exercise, but time wise it is difficult. You look fabulous!

Hi girl4god77,

I had my lap band removed and converted to a RNY on 6/13. My two largest incisions are above my belly button, and on the right side. It hurts when I bend over, and just in general basically aches a lot of the time (like right now!). My surgeon did say my surgery was difficult and there was a lot of scar tissue. I am just ready for the pain to be over, and I am so afraid it will always be there.

cat.jackson89-

I also have pain on my right side, not the left like everyone else.

Did they ever tell you what it was? I had surgery 6/13 and I really thought it would be gone by now. It's very annoying!

Had RNY Gastric Bypass last Monday (6 days ago). Everything went great! Went home the following day. Following instructions to the T. But yesterday my pain started increasing especially on my left side. I really hoped I would feel improvement by now but it's actually worse. Dr hasn't been available all weekend of course but went to urgent care last night (which was pointless as the Dr had no clue anything about WLS patients). The nurse told me to go due to the puss that developed under the glue on the incision site but they said its not infected.

Anyway, the pain on my left side is constant and kind of feels like when you drink too much then exercise and get those cramps. But when I walk it's even worse. And there's a burning sensation on my lower abdomen (nowhere near incision site). Just wondering if anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? Also having regular diarrhea (sorry tmi) and Dr said it was normal a few days ago but most people are constipated. I sure hope this gets easier soon. I can't even put my socks & shoes on by myself. Lol. I'm hopeful but just so shocked at how bad things still are.

I'm 3 weeks post op, and have the same pain, but on my right side! Bending over is excruciating! I can't stretch, reach, kneel, anything without that incessant pain. And the burning! I literally clutch my stomach/side when I feel it. Idk what it is- but it's a relief to know I'm not the only one experiencing it. I emailed my surgeon, I'm hoping he gets back to me soon, because I'm due to go back to work next Monday- and idk how I'm going to do it with this pain!

curlysue- could it be a caffeine headache? I had to stop caffeine before my surgery (6/13) and I had horrible headaches. I am now drinking Decaf coffee which has a minimal amount of caffeine in it.

I hope your headaches are better!!

I had mine 6/13- looking for people in similar phase as myself. Did a June group ever get started?
