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

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
