I was recently sleeved on July 1st and I wanted to know if it's normal to still have so much pain on my left side. When I stand up it feels like it's pulling. It's also swollen and I have a lump. I haven't been able to walk that much because the longer I'm up the tighter it gets.

You need to call your surgeon. Although some swelling is normal, the pulling may be something else entirely

The stomach portion cut off was on your left side. Probably just normal healing but call just to be sure.

I would call ur doc and get checked out. Very unlikely but could be incisional hernia. Better to contact doctor early. It's probably nothing but better to b safe then sorry ????

Thanks everyone! Calling the doctor tomorrow!

Thank you! I have a phone appt. tomorrow with the surgeons office so I will definitely let them know what I'm experiencing.

Kimber262 - how are you feeling otherwise? Everything go well??

Other than that I've been okay. I'm getting all my liquids and proteins in. I've lost 10lbs since Tuesday. I've only had to take 1 pain pill since being released from the hospital. I don't like the way they make me feel. I'm just behind on my walking. I literally have to crouch when I walk because of the pulling and tightness.

Bless you. I hope you get answers and healing.
