All tests show clear. No clots! May just be muscle pull/soreness but for 7 days! Glad to rule out everything. Going to get an Rx for liquid pain & inflammation. They did find inflam around old port area but that's not where my pain even is. Praying it just goes away soon! I cant sleep or get comfortable in any way. Of course 4th day with Migraine.< /p>

Oh, good! I'm glad all is well.

You poor thing, with a Migraine in addition to that horrid side pain. We'll just have to pray for an Easter miracle that all your pain will disappear today.

I started having the pain a week post op, started after I vomited. Felt horrible, sharp pain, throbbing, and especially when I got in/out of the car. Being a police officer I get in and out several times of the day, I took 2 weeks off after my surgery and I've been back for a week now.

Today I was stupid and went to DQ and got a vanilla shake, BIG MISTAKE!!! I threw up and BAM the pain hurt so bad I was laying on the ground. My partner called for an ambulance and I was so embarrassed when over 12 squad cars showed up, my sgt and my LT. Grrrr, I got to go home early though,

I am 5 weeks out of having the sleeve and I keep having the pain on the left side. It comes and goes but feels like I am being pinched from the inside out. I had it originally 2 days out and was told to take childrens Ibuprofen and use a heating pad. It helps. I happened again last week and now this week. Does it eventually go away for good? This is going to be a real "PAIN" (lol) if this keeps happening.

My pain is on the right side. It goes and come but I feel it mostly when bending over. I hope its nothing serious. I will follow up with my surgeon next week.

Thank you. Today seems it's a little better surgeon said it's from where the drain tube was and will be sore plus The gas is a killer alone. I am also paranoid that every thing that can go wrong will.

I have the same problem. The DR said it's probably because that's the side he took the stomach out on.

Mine is on my right side as well... I am 19 days post op....and it started 4 or 5 days ago. Wearing stomach binder helps... Only hurts when I am active. Hoping it's just healing. Dr doesn't seem concerned.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
