I'm nine days post op today and woke up feeling pretty good. I did some vacuuming and laundry (no lifting) and now it feels like I may have pulled something on my upper right side, it's feeling very tight and sore. Has anyone else had this happen?

The Doctor will separate muscles to get access to the stomach then put a deep stitch in. It takes a few weeks for it to totally stop hurting. You did too much! I did the same thing a couple weeks out. Hurt so bad! Good luck

Oh yeah... took me about three days to get back to my previous post op soreness. My Dr told me to continue to take the muscle relaxer at night. The last three days sucked then I woke up this morning and poof! All better

This is spot on!

At about the two to three week mark those internal stitches will "pop" and cause some discomfort!

Interesting. . I never really thought about the internal stitches popping. . Sounds creepy!

Just discovered the patients tab at the top of this page and saw all the Frank Chae patients. How you doing? I'm banded and will be 2 years out as of Thanksgiving day.

We're sort of neighbors. Long drive aint it?

Sounds like you just did too much...try to relax and i hope you feel better soon
