I had surgery on the 15th. I haven't had any problems at all. Tonight, I was bent over on my left side to fix the dryer vent and when I got back up I had sharp pain in the left side.

Wondering if this is normal??

I too had my surgery on the 15. Anytime I lean or lay or bend with my left side I get some pain. It does go away after a little time. If for some reason you find your self in pain for a long period of time I would call your doctor and just ask. Good luck and hope your pain will pass soon

Your abdomen muscles where cut and stitched back together what your feeling is normal. If how ever it continues pleas call your doctor.

I had the same pain on my left side and it did go away

Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Thanks guys! I woke up this morning with just a little pain but it does seem to be going away. Note to self, no bending and staying that way for to long on the left side!!

I think it happens when you come up too quickly too at least that's how it is for me....

Hey all I am 10 days post op and the main incision site is just as painful today as it was on the day of surgery...when will it stop. is this normal?
