Having some pain almost 4 weeks after surgery



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I was banded on May 4th and so far, so good!

One of the main reasons I decided to have the surgery was for the joint pain I was experiencing because of the weight. Well, that joint pain is GONE! I am so happy I did this.

One thing that has happened though and I am not sure what it is, I have developed this pain on the same side my port is. Its a really SHARP pain if I twist a certain way or bend over or lean over and have to stretch when I do so. I am worried I did something to the port or it detached when it is still healing.

I have only started cleaning my house again. Nothing too crazy and still not lifting anything so I am not sure how this happened. So, last night I took it easy and did not do a thing. I went to bed and I slept fine and when I got up, I felt a little better BUT then I had to pick something up off the floor and the pain came back. It wasnt as stong as it was the day before but still there. Other than that, I feel wonderful!

Has anyone had this? Should I be concerned? My next Dr apt is June 2nd and he is super booked so I was trying to see if I could wait until then or if I really needed to press to be seen now.

Thanks all!

I would call the dr. office since you are worried. I bet it's nothing, but better off on the safe side. Feel better!

I would call the dr too. but I was getting a pain in my left side and it felt like something pinching me really hard, it kept me from sleeping so I called the dr and he said it is completely normal and it will go away, which it did. I don't know if that is anything like the pain your having. I hope you feel better and I would ask the dr.

It's still pretty early in your healing process. The typical healing period is 6 weeks. While I normally felt great, occasionally when something brushed against the area just above the port it was an uncomfortable feeling. I think it was pain, but not unbearable.

Always air on the side of caution and leave a msg for your doctor, but I bet you're still healing. Remember to take it easy!:thumbup:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
