Everything would be good, except for this lousy hematoma attached to my left side. I hate it and I hate waiting to see if it will reabsorb on its own. That is what is expected. Nobody on here has had one it seems, but when I google it- it pops up for people with hysterectomies often. It is only mildly painful bit is like a small toy football in size. I guess it scares me.

I had one with my both of my last two surgeries.. It's annoying but it does finally go away once your body absorbs all the Fluid.. Hang in there!

I had one too and it was extremely painful for about 8-9 weeks. Sometimes it was even hard to walk, sit, bend, twist, get up..moving in general was excruciating and it would come and go and I had no clue what would trigger it, even the skin in the area was extremely sensitive, I couldn't put any clothing on that area that wasn't super loose. To me, it was stabbing and felt more like a muscle tear. CT and MRI scans were negative so the doc thought it was very deep. He pressed extremely hard on the area one day when it was very tender over and over again and that is when he said it was a hematoma. It was so sore for over a week but now, knock on wood, it seems to have gone away... THANK GOD! I'm not sure if all of his pressing on it made it break up and asorb or what but it seems to be ok right now.

Good luck, hope it clears up soon for you!

I felt the same way, I too had a hematoma, and had the same symptoms, this all does go away eventually! Just takes time, hope you feel better soon.. I thought I was the only but glad to know there's more of us out there ;)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
