It's been 1 week exactly today that I had my surgery. My doctor told me last monday that I was healing really fast (my cuts) they are scabbing already so i'm getting that itch already.

Anyways I asked my doctor if I could drive soon he said yes after tuesday I was fine to drive. Well today I went to Los Angeles it took me about 1hr&10mins to get there due to lovely LA traffic on the 10 & 605. I felt great

but right now I feel like someone kicked the sh** out of me on me lower left side of my stomach well more under my rib cage and yes there is pain. I am wondering now.. maybe I overdid it on my first drive? Cause im also brusing next to 1 of my cuts and another bruise on the other side.

Has this happened to anyone?

Any OTC meds I could take? Cause I really dont want to take Hydrocodone

Thanks

I had this too, for me, I went to the mall thinking 'oh no problem'. I ended up sitting a lot. The pain was more like a really bad sideache. So I'm thinking it was just pushing myself a lil too soon. I took a couple chewable tylenols but generally it just seemed that over time the 'sideache' went away.

Best Wishes!

I had my surgery 3 weeks ago, I didn't experience the bruising, but I did have the pains in my abdomen, it's coming from gas pains, try some tylenol for the discomfort this does go away, hope this works for you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
