I'm post-op day 17 today, and woke up with lots of pain on my left side. It's not unbearable, but it's an aching, nagging soreness that is getting on my dang nerves. If I sneeze, it hurts. Same if I cough or blow my nose. I haven't had this pain like this for several days now. I'm thinking I may have overdone it yesterday. I seem to remember chasing/being chased by my 2 year old son.

Just curious as to when I can expect this pain to go away completely. For now, it's back to taking liquid Lortab. Bah.

I am at day 15, aching soreness and deep pain in the abs on left side. The MD yesterday said this is normal and should subside by 6 weeks. I am free to return to work between 3 and 4 weeks and he suggested I wait until closer to the 4 week time frame. Since mine was a revision from lapband, I have a bit more to heal inside
