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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
