Hi everyone! I'm new here and am 31/2 weeks out from my sleeve surgery. My question is this, I've had a rounds eith kidney stones in the past so the last couple days I've brushed my sharp sudden pains as another round due to lack of enough water; now my tummy right below. My right rib is very tender to touch and seems a bit swollen. Any suggestions? How concerned should I be right being post-op?

whether you meant to post on a band forum or sleeve, best you call your dr if you are concerned

Thanks for replying. I accidentally posted on the wrong forum.

I am getting concerned since the tenderness started this evening. Going to phone my dr first thing in the morning. Just wondering if I've dine something wrong or if anyone else has had this trouble. Ill repost on the correct forum.

let me know what the dr says anyhow (wrong forum or not)

hang in there okay

Thanks, I will. Calling as soon as they open today.

I hope you feel better. Band, Sleeve, Gastric...doesn't matter, we're all WLS patients and we are all connected in that way.

Thank you for the support! So glad to have come across this site. Went to the dr today and although we still aren't sure exactly what's going on, we think we have it narrowed down to a couple of possibilities. He thinks its possinlre my gallbladder has been a bit slow to awaken post surgery and therefore is a bit angry along with one of my incision sites right in the same area that is healing slower on the inside than the others. That's right where the swelling is and very close to where everything is so tender. I'm relieved to know that its nothing serious due post surgery. Hasnt ruled out kidney stone either since it radiates to the back. ..lucky me!
