I have a terrible pain on my left side near the area that the doctor told me would be painful. However, I was feeling much better and now (6-days after surgery) this pain has crept up and it bring tears to my eyes when I turn or bend a certain way.

Is anyone else experiencing this pain issue? I have pain mess, but when I say it hurts I mean "IT FREAKIN HURTS!!"

Call your surgeon. You shouldn't be in great pain on day 6.

The pain did pass eventfully. Today, I am 2-weeks post-op and that pain has been gone about 3-4 days.

well....now I had pain on my left side. Turns out I had a very big clot and my stomach (not my pouch) was infected. I ended up back in the hospital for 3 days. My only symptom was pain. He said if I had waited, my stomach could of swelled out my abdomen. So you take that with what you will. If your in pain go to the er or call the nurse on duty.
