Hi guys. I had a bypass on 28th March. I have virtually no pain left at any of my incision sites. On the incision on my right side I have had a large bruise since waking up from surgery. That doesn't hurt at all but the area about 4 inches below that a little to the right (no incisions) I have had a pain when going from lying to sitting position. It seems to be when gravity pulls everything to the left but is then fine once it settles again. I have spoken till the surgeon who thinks it's muscle related and said to keep an eye on it. Just wondering if anyone else experienced this? It feels like something moving around in me. There is no way I could sleep on my side yet with this. It is gradually easing but just wanted to see if I could put my mind at ease with similar experiences from anyone else. Thanks

Me too. I think it's just gravity, plus it's trying to heal in there.

Yes, after all your tests, your bariatric office sends the paperwork to your insurance for approval. Then the scheduler at the bariatric office sets up your date. Then they call you with info. Good luck!

That's tough if you have family at home counteracting your good decisions. Try to hang in there and make this decision for your own health and for yourself.

Don't give up! The way they are acting, try to put it out of your mind, be strong and do what you have to do to get healthy. They will be amazed and proud of you once you get results.
