Pain In Lower Abdomen Post Surgery



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 10-10-12 and although I am healing great I have noticed a terrible pain in the lower left side of my abdomen. It feels like a pulled muscle and only hurts when I am up moving around. I see my surgeon Thursday for my post op appointment but just wanted to see if anyone else had this. Thanks!

I'm having it as well. My other banded friends seem to think that it's gas, but when I think gas I think bubbles and bloating, discomfort - not actual pain. TMI, but I haven't had a BM since Thursday night (surgery was on Friday morning) and I'm thinking that maybe that could be it. I've taken a stool softener laxative, but nothing. I'm not too concerned since my diet is all liquid.

I'm positive that mine is not gas. It's just weird because it just started today. Hopefully I just pulled something and it will feel better soon :/

My surgery was Oct 11th. I have been having the same pain for two days now. Talked to the crnp yesterday and she said it was normal. Told me to apply heat but not to hot. Keep me posted on what they say at your visit.

      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! 😞
