Hey! I have a pain in my right side of my belly, it has always been there just gotten worse within the last few days... I'm starting to get scared. I am 8 days post op. Has anyone had this constant pain as well?

No, I haven't had any post-op pain. I suggest you call your surgeon.

I am 10 days post op and my right side continues to hurt, but my surgeon said that's where they removed my stomach so it may be sore up to a month. Mine seemed to get worse around day 8 through today, but if it's more than uncomfortable though, you really should ask your own surgeon to be safe.

I was sleeved 12/4 and I still have pain... On the right side where the biggest incision is located... My surgeon said the pain is normal and it can last up to 6 weeks if not longer... The way he explained it was that, he had to scrap around my stomach, cut, stitch and remove 3/4 of the original size... He says that the whole area is healing, not just the stomach, and everyone deals with pain differently. I stopped taking my liquid hydrocodine after 4 days postop because I didn't like the feeling of being "high" and then I'd also pass out in dead sleep about a half hour after id take it, which screwed up with my Water Intake and meals... Hope that helps.

I was sore for a solid month, which my doc said was normal. Then, suddenly one day I woke up and felt totally fine.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
