Hello, a friend of mine just had the VSG on the 25th of July! She has been experiencing pain on the left side and she describes it as feeling like stitches popping inside her. I have asked her has she been following the rules and not eating what she isnt suppose to, drinking her protein, water and walking and she says yes. Im not sure whats going on. I didnt have any pain like that in my recovery. She has gone to the surgeon but i guess it wasnt anything serious because they didnt have her go to the hospital. Anyone else had this problem with the pain still, this far out after surgery?

I still have random pulling pain on my left lower side. It always occurs when I cough or sneeze, sometimes when I bend, and always when the hubby and I get a little crazy.

oh ok, this just seems to be all the time with her. Im tryin to research to see what it could be, she doesnt have a computer.

i had surgery on the 23rd and still have to take the pain medication....just now able to get up and around to walk but only for a little at a time. my pain is mostly in the left side(the larger incisions where they removed the stomach). very tender and sore, and feels like it is"ripping" if i move wrong or do too much still. the surgeon told me that some people are super sensitive in this area and it takes them much longer to heal from the surgery.

I had surgery on the 27th. At this far out, she should be totally healed. She may be feeling scar tissue pulling. My surgeon cleared me last week to workout, core exercises included, and said that if I feel pain when I move that it is most likely scar tissue being pulled. I'm glad she is going to make sure that it's nothing serious. Let us know!

I'm the same way. I had my surgery Aug. 6th & my mind started two days ago I feel the same way. Like my stitches are popping inside me. From all of my insicions, but at different times.
