I was sleeved on 8/29. Have done really well with eating,no nausea or vomiting, down 20 lbs.... At my 2 week post op visit my MD said the pain I was experiencing on my left side was normal. so I wasn't worried. Well it went away for a few days and IT'S BACK...

Couldn't get comfortable last night and the pain on my left side takes my breath away when I stand. Now instead of radiating into my hip it is going to my back...No it's not gas. It's as if when I stand there is something pulling at my insides..

I am a nurse and have gone back to work so I don't know if maybe I am doing to much or what is going on..

So discouraged I could cry!!!

Thanks for the advice :-) it always helps

Well they did an X-ray and said its an Urinary Tract infection And a Kidney infection' date=' I don't believe I have ever had either, anybody know what might have caused this?[/quote']

Feel better soon

So I have been wearing this blasted binder all night at work. And I do have to say it makes a world of difference. I took it off for a few minutes to see what would happen and yikes! Back on it went : (

Thanks y'all' date=' that helps a lot. I have only drank 2 Protein drinks since surgery and I'll be a month post op on the 23rd and I'm only getting in between 16.9 fl oz Water and maybe another half bottle of that so on a good day 24 OZs of water, maybe that was the whole problem.[/quote']

Awwwww hate to hear that you are struggling that much. If you like chocolate milk try the premiere shakes from cots I or SAMs club. They are very good a d 30 grams of protein. Have you bee. Able to lose weight at all?

You are doing too much. You are stressing that stitch around your stach muscle and irritating it. I had same thing and they showed me how it happens by twisting your body bending up a d down and stuff. That is why they recommend 6 week recovery. Becareful u don't want to bust that stitch too soon.

OMG! That's EXACTLY what I did two days ago! I bent and twisted and ZOWIE!!!! Darn it hurt! It's a bit better today, just feels like a slight pull. Thanks for that explanation.
