I had a similar type of pain but in my right side. Transferring from sitting to walking always felt terrible and it took me about 2-3 weeks before I felt a lot better. (even

Just hang in there! Remember that you're still recovering from a major surgery and your body is still healing, so pain is to be expected but follow up with your doctor if you're unsure or if the pain is too severe, they might be able to recommend something different. Good luck!

I had an ultrasound and then X-ray to try figure things out- then suddenly the sharp pain disappeared. It's weird in Australia as we are told to go to our own doctor (GP) after the surgery until the 6 week post op. In hindsight I should have ignored that than rung the surgeons office as it sounds like the pain is common and he would have known that. My own doctor wouldn't have the quantity of patients with the bypass to know that. However the sharp pain is gone and it's all mild pains now. I struggle with food and mentally with not being able to eat. Playing it safe this morning with yoghurt for Breakfast ????

I had this exact pain. Mine was in the mid left abdominal area. I felt pretty good for the first 3 weeks after surgery, couldn't work a full day, but pretty good. Then bam! Pain! Went to see the PA at my docs office and he said that they had to use extra strong sutures in that area due to a few complications I had (lapband removal, thick abdominal wall). He said I was definitely over doing things, but that it was mainly from healing.

I hope it passes soon and hope you feel better.

My surgery was dec 16 and the pains on my left side did not start till last week (3 weeks out) then my lower left back started hurting as well.

Dr did cat scan said I have two little kidney stones that should pass but it will hurt like a big dog when they do!

Also my big incision where the camera went in is still pitted in so it has not released yet. Dr says that the pain to the left of that will stop when that releases (sounds like it literally pops loose) so it will hurt till that happens. He also said some people take up to 5 or 6 weeks before this happens.

So for now I use abdominal binder, heat, lots of water/cranberry juice, and of course pain meds.

This pain is horrible and I hope it goes away soon! I feel for you!

Hi there... My pains are getting fewer and now more like full aches but get occasional sharp pains to left still... Just wondering what you mean by the wound being pitted in??

Ok, this may sound strange, but my pain is on my right side!! I had the band removed 3 months prior to having the sleeve (sleeved on 1/9). I feel the pain everyday and am hoping I didn't mess anything up...I'm still on puréed foods and really have been pretty compliant with my diet so I don't know what this is. I have no other pain or discomfort and I go see the doctor next week but maybe this is common??? Thanks

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
