Pain at lower right incision

[holliwood1980 143]

I was sleeved December 18. The pains are getting much better. The main problem I have had is the lowest incision on my right side. Every time I stand, sit, or make certain movements I get a pain where that incision is, almost like a sharp pulling feeling. Has anyone else had this? I am going to call my surgeon in the morning to ask her but just wondered if anyone had this experience.

Not the pain so much I just remember that incision taking the longest to heal. I would rub oils on that area every morning and night to help with healing.

I'm going to have to try that once it's healed enough to put oil on it.

I had my surgery on the 15th of December and on the 22nd I started having burning and tearing feelings below the bottom right incisions. Hurt so much every time I changed positions or coughed or sneezed or laughed. Turns out I overdid it and tore of strained a muscle in my abdominal wall. Back to taking it super easy with no bending or lifting. It is helping big time and the pain is getting better.

Call your doc...pain can be super scary. I was sure mind was nothing serious but still needed to hear it from the doctor. Now I have chastised and will take it easy!

I am worried that I may have overdone it since being home. It's hard to not do stuff yourself. I will definately call her in the am!

Mine too. My right incision opened up and it took 2 months to heal. Now 3 months out they are all fine.

My 1 month surgiversary was Christmas day, and I was feeling the burning/tearing pain until about 3 days before that. I think mine was exacerbated by the occupational therapist in the hospital (she had me do something I told her I couldn't, and I felt a pop).

Worth a call to the doc just in case, though!

I hope you feel better soon. That's a miserable feeling, and finding a comfortable position to sleep is impossible. Lack of sleep makes everything feel worse.

Definitely call your surgeon!! I had the same issue. I was sleeved on dec 15th and every time I moved or sneezed my largest right incision killed. I thought I was just over doing it so I called my surgeon they said it was fine just to keep icing the incision every hour. 2 days later my incision started leaking like a waterfall which lead to them cutting the incision open and draining a blood pocket/ infection that formed around the incision. :/ Good luck!!

Sleeved on 12/18. Don't even have a lower right incision. most are left of midline. They didn't cause me much pain or soreness . Had gall bladder removed laparoscopically years ago and I remember that surgery post op being very painful.

I was sleeved on Dec 22nd . I am still having severe pain in my lower right incision as well. I had called my surgeon's office, they said it is part of normal healing and not to worry. But it kills me everytime i move or try to get up from bed etc.
