I also had this, I even went to the ER one time because it was really sharp. They ran a bunch of tests. For me, they never got to the bottom of it. It was on my left side, right under my breast, wrapping around my side. The doc said it was probably from where they pulled the stomach out, which is the correct side, but the incision was a lot lower. Anyway, it went away after about 8 weeks.
Save yourself the hassle and the mental headache, and don't worry about it. It's probably normal healing pains.

Im 5ft 6 had the bypass 3 weeks ago and im down 33lbs x

Just a guess, but I think bran might be a bit rough on your new tummy. You might try something like benefiber or Miralax for now. Double check your post op instructions. They usually mention something about Constipation because it's very common.

My butt works great. I eat a lot of oatmeal and figs. Not sure that helps, but there's my two cents. LOL:)

My surgeon had us using benefiber from day one. He preferred that to fruits bc of the sugars and grains bc of the carbs. He also preferred it to things expressly for Constipation (mirilax, milk of magnesia, etc) bc he said you could get dependent on them.

My Bariatric staff recomimended Miralax and it has been perfect to combat Protein dieting. There is no flavor to the crystals, just mix in a glass of Water daily and it generates regularity! Best recommendation ever!

My puree instructions included an express approval for whole grains like oatmeal and grits as well as fruit like mashed banana. I personally find that banana is very stimulating to my digestive system so I'd see if you can tolerate that and maybe some oatmeal. Also if you like coffee, it can help get things going too. Good luck!

Thanks guy its much better today

its ok to have some drainage. I had some clear Fluid drain for 2 days post op. Just make sure to keep the area clean and monitor it.

I had dermabond as well with no seepage.
I would think if it’s just regular steri strips you may have slight drainage for a few days. If it continues or increases, certainly call the office to be sure all is ok.
