Oh yes! right were the biggest incision was (mine was on my left) I had so much pain, even though I could walk the stairs, go for long walks, at the time of getting out of bed, or if I had to drive, OMG, pain ,pain and more pain. Then some magic happened.... on day 29 I had to go back to work and that morning I massaged that area really well, and when I got to my desk... voila! no more pain... I will attribute it to some kind of tissue stuck in that area so I will definetely recommend for you to do same... very gentle, consistent massage that area only... Good luck!

That's pretty normal. That's the incision they usually pull the stomach out of, so everything gets extra-stretched. Make sure you're not lifting heavy things, etc. I thought the pain would never go away and then one day realized it was completely gone!

I was picking up laundry on the floor yesterday n felt like I pulled something on my right side n luckily today was my 2 week check up n he told me that I had a stitch in the muscle right there n that is what is causing the pain. Its not a constant pain its just occasional.

yes, my right was much worse than my left and that's where my biggest incision was. try not to over do it and talk to your doctor if it worries you.

I just searched for "right side pain" and found this string. I'm having intermittent pain on the right side and am about 4 weeks post-op on Monday. I'm going to try massaging to see if that helps. When I asked the doctor she said that she anchored the new sleeve to my abdominal wall and this is the incision where they pulled the old stomach out. I, too, was getting worried that this was unique to me...glad I found that others have had similar situations and eventually it goes away. It makes it very difficult to exercise as that seems to make it worse. I'll just have patience and see if massage will work. Thank you.
