3 weeks Post Op Pain

I had my sleeve done on June 18th and have been doing pretty well pain wise. However, lately I have had a little pain on the sides as well as my belly button which is my largest incision. I don't go back to my doctor for two months so I am unsure of what to do. Is this normal? I started back at work today and am pretty tired. I nanny part time while I go to school (but am out for the summer) so I'm basically just doing household chores, laundry, cooking dinner, etc. I am scared to keep bending if it's hurting me. Anyone have pain three weeks after surgery?

I also hurt it was like stabbing pains they where short and sharp!! They finally stopped around 8/9 weeks out. I think it was the skin growing over my stitches or my wound heeling from the inside.

Yes that's kind if what it's like. I have been sleeping on my side for about a week so I am going to try and stop and see if it's gets better. I may end up just calling my doctor to double check. I am such a worry wort and always dwell on the worst possible outcome!
