3 Weeks Post Op & Now Getting Pain



Recommended Posts

I am 3 weeks post-op and have been feeling great up until today. I am gettin "kinks" under my right rib cage. My stomach feels like I have been lifting weighs or something. Has this happened to anyone before? Thanks.

Is it possible it could be an internal stitch that is tugging due to shifting in your belly gravity? I had an ache that was like sore muscles in my stomach at 5 weeks out, and it went away within a week.

I really have felt no pain since my surgery until this morning. I am 4 weeks out and my tummy was so tender. Not pain really, just very tender. Not feeling quite myself either so I am taking it slow today and taking care of myself, Hope you feel better soon!

Did you move anything heavy? Even after the healing period where you can't lift I have pulled my side muscle too hard doing something and been in pain for a few days. I try and still take it easy on my side though I'm almost 3 months out. Do you have your gallbladder still? That can show up as right side pain under your ribs.

Thanks everyone. I don't have my gullbladder and I didn't lift anything heavy. It is not really pain, just discomfort and tenderness and I don't really feel myself today, so I just got home from work and am going to go to bed and relax for the evening and hopefully feel better tomorrow.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
