Hello all. I was sleeved on march 25th. So I'm almost 3 weeks out? Has anybody experienced a sharp pain in their right side. Mine kinda lingers daily then when I get more active like bending over or standing up it really hurts! I remember my dr saying there's a deep stitch. It's somewhat near my larger incision where my stomach was taken out. Other than that im doing pretty good.Any thoughts???

I am 4 weeks out and had that exact thing all last week. It started feeling better yesterday. I called my Dr and they said I probably pulled a muscle. Even though it is feeling better, i am going to baby it for a while...

Hope yours gets better soon!

I was told it was scar tissue forming internally. After about three days it went away. It was about three weeks out for me to when it happened. I almost had to take more time off work it hurt so bad!

It is most likely normal healing. If you think of cut on your skin, as it heals, things get tighter a even a little more uncomfortable until it reaches a certain point. I've experienced all kinds of new tingles, twinges and even pains in my 14 months. Deep breathing exercises really helped me. They relax not only your body, but your mind! Feel better, soon!

Thank everybody! Guess I just gotta remember my body's still healing!

I too have this same thing and was told the same thing. I'm only 5 days post though. The more active I am sometimes the more it hurts. I have found that the binder helps and when that fails I just sit down for a bit I just keep saying it will get better because I know that it will!

Hi. Was wondering if you still experience that pain?

I had my 2 week check up today. I told them about that pain on the right side. Just like you said, they said it it were the stomach was removed and the pain is from the healing process. They prescribed be lidocaine patches for it and said the pain should go away for good it two days.

Mine had subsided some but seems to be back a little today. I'm just going to monitor it and call in if it were to get worse.

Hi all, hope everyone is feel good. This type of right side pain just began yesterday....but I'm 4 months post op. I don't know if it's even related to the surgery or not. I'm not sure what is even in that location now that my gallbladder has also been removed....lol. Any ideas?

I am 6 weeks out and have the same pain. My gallbladder was removed last year.

Im 24 days post op and mine is on the right side. When I bend or squat I feel like im squashing something. Like if there is something there and it hurts. Im scared because its been 2weeks that i started feeling it and seems everyday the more I do the worse it gets. Get up from a sit up or laid down position is when I feel that pull or hurt feeling.. Hope this is normal. Anyone else feel this??

I'm also 21 days and have it on my left side. I think it's the fat that is pressing in New directions, now that it became thinner. I'll wait and see what happens. It's not bad, just uncomfortable.

Yes it is not a bad pain just a uncomfortable one I forget that it bothers me until I bend over or have to get up and I feel it like im going to bust something in there. Im not in pain other then when I bend over or shift at night when i sleep. I hope its nothing ive been freaking out about it.

I am 20 days post op and it kinda feels like there is a baloonl on my right side when I kind of put pressure on it like lean or anything. Its not PAIN but its discomfort. Feels like it needs to pop. Any ideas?
