Anyone Else Have This Pain?



Recommended Posts

So close to 3-weeks post op I was feeling pretty good pain-wise. Just a little soreness on the left side if I stretch or bend down. More like muscle soreness.

Then last week my period starts and I start to have more stomach pains which isn't unusual during my time of the month. Now a week later, period is gone but the pain is worse.

I'm fine sitting, lying, walking but standing from sitting, sitting too forward or bending down hurts a lot!!! The pain is different from the pains after the hospital. That was more an overall pain in the whole left side that felt more like muscles. This new pain is sharp and feels localized in the same spot. It's been like this for 5-6 days.

Should I be worried or is this just healing pains? I'm having no other discomforts and can eat and drink really well.

I had those same pains. Sometimes it felt like a searing burning pain with a knife being stuck in there. Mostly on my left side. My surgeon said its was because she had to sew some muscles together, mostly on my left side. the right also, but that wasn't so bad. The pain would come and go. It would be there for a week or so then go away. When I became more active it would come back. I'm 5 weeks out and it's all gone. hang in there. I would call the doctor just to make sure.

  • I say call your doctor, but I bet it is nothing to worry about. I have heard of people doing find and feel so good that they over do it and end up in pain. Your cycle could have had the same impact.

I had some pain similar to that, but it was after I pushed myself a little too far the day before. I was pretty sore/had sharp pains for the next day or two. If it persists, you should probably give the doctor a call. Feel better!

Left side pain, yep I had it too. Go ahead and call your Dr. but there are nerves on the left side that flare up a few weeks after surgery. Mine hurt for about 2+ weeks and then went away almost over night. My Dr. said 95% of all patients get this pain.

Thanks for this info, I too (4 weeks out) have had left pain, nothing awful just nagging on and off. Good to know others have it and guess part of healing process

Thanks for all the help! I went ahead and called the doctor and the nurse told me it sounded like a pulled muscle but she would ask my doctor tomorrow just to be safe.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
