I had my surgery done on may 6th. Started at 436 and I am at 420 today. I have had no issues with food, water or protein. I am however quite sore. My drainage tube came out 3 days ago and I got even worse. Is this normal. Seems like most people don't have pain like me.

Congratulations on your surgery and weight loss. I had an internal stitch that was causing me pain up until last week and I had my surgery on April 10th. If you feel something isn't right I would contact my doctor to see what is causing the pain. Good luck to you!

Thanks. How did they find it.

My doctor suggested that might be my problem at my one month follow-up appointment. The pain was really intense like a burning, tearing , and pulling sensation. One day last week I was bending over to pick up something and I felt a pop sensation then the pain was gone. I guess the stitch popped. I have been pain free ever since.

I had a tearing sensation whenever I sneezed. For some reason it seemed that I could sneeze when I was full, so several times a day I had to sneeze and then.... OW! Other than that the only other lingering pain I had was on my left side, which felt tender.
