7 weeks post op - odd slight pain left side of abdomen



Recommended Posts

I did have some foods yesterday that I don't normally eat - but everything felt fine - I chewed everything really well and felt fine yesterday (I did not overeat). Woke up this morning with an odd slight pain, like a pin-prick in my upper left abdomen. It lasts about a second and happens every minute or two. It doesn't seem to be brought on by eating or drinking. My stomach feels fine. I held off on eating until 11:30 this morning. I feel fine otherwise, no fever, no headache just this annoying pin-prick every minute or two.

One little flub I made yesterday was that I had a sip of wine without thinking about it and then decided that wasn't a good idea - however, it didn't burn or feel bad in my tummy and literally it was a tiny sip.

Anyone else have an odd pain like this 2 months out?

I'm going to give it a day or 2 to see what happens before I call my surgeon (if it gets worse I'll call, but I don't think it's necessary now - this may not even have anything to do with my stomach or the surgery).

I'm also 7 weeks post op ... can't give you advice on the pain but I'm sure it wouldn't be caused by the wine. I had a glass yesterday (cleared by my NUT). No problems for me :)

I am sorry, I can't say I have had such a pain and hopefully this goes away or gets resolved quickly for you :)

Keep us posted!

I remember having different pains here and there around that time period. I think your right just call your Dr. if it persists just to check in.

Most likely, the pain is from the stitches they put into your abdominal muscles. Once you start feeling better and moving around more, you'll pull them causing pain. Once they dissolve (in about another week or two) you should be just fine. Just try to be a bit careful with moving around too much and don't lift anything heavy!

I had the same pain after my sleeve 7 months ago. Bariatric team said was probably due to the work in the abdominal cavity. I noticed the most when I did abdominal exercises for about 2-3 months out (this was my second surgery within 3 months though). I now only notice now if I have stayed out the gym for a few days and still only ab exercises. Don't worry it will get better. But if are concerned don't be afraid to contact your Bariatric team. They are the experts.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
