Hi all, I had gastric sleeve surgery April 20th and still experiencing severe pain on the right side of my abdomen. Has anyone else experienced this?

it could just be gas pains, I had a friend who had this issue. she used the gas x strips and it seemed to help her. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

I was thinking that, but I've had this pain since Day 1 and it hasn't subsided. I'm wondering if it's just bruising on my insides...maybe the liver? The left hand side of my stomach is find when I press down, the right side is painful.

How's your recovery going? I'm now 13 days out and getting better, but still have that annoying pain on the right.

I'd look at it as a learning experience - now you (and hubby) know how much you can take in. I went through something similar a few days ago thinking they I was close enough to my soft foods phase to order baked salmon and mashed potatoes. Definitely way wrong. I only managed maybe a tablespoon of the salmon and the mash before things got uncomfortable. That was $$$ down the drain.
