Pain in left side? One week post op...



Recommended Posts

I'll be one week post op tomorrow. I still have pain in my upper left side of stomach... It hurts the most when I have to get up out of bed or if I bend a certain way. Anyone else have this? How long until it goes away

I still have it too! My surgeon said it is normal, most of the 'work' is done on the left side (I had a hernia repair at the same time) Each day it gets a little less. I'm 9 days out. Had my drain removed yesterday which l\helped lessen the discomfort a LOT. good luck

Pain on the left? I just had my revision Monday from the Lapland to sleeve. For me with my original wls the intense pain on the left for me was always me being backed up needing to make a BM, that's the area where to colon turns down. See if you can poop, it may make you feel much Better

I had the same thing. I developed a small himatoma (sp?), the blood gathers in the muscle tissue. It was a hard spot and sore. The doctor looked, said it wasn't infected and just told me that it was going to take a little longer to heal. Good Luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
