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!

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!

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?

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
