Pain around lower left side

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago tomorrow. I had a revision from lap band to bypass. Surgery and recovery went well and I have lost 25 lbs. I am having pain on my left side near my belly button. Has anyone heard of this or had it? I cant put my finger on it and don't see my surgeon till July 24. Any suggestions?

I had my revision same time as also 5weeks tomorrow I had some pain in same spot maybe little lower and to left of belly button my surgeon said that I have internal stitches in the muscles in that area mine went away in couple of days but if keeps bothering u should ck with ur surgeon and awesome job so far

I did not have a revision, I had the gastric sleeve 1 month and 3 days ago. All of my pain and soreness was gone a week and a half ago but two days ago I started having pains on my left bottom side of my belly, right above my pelvis. I feel it when I get up from sitting, or when I stretch my back. Not sure what this could be. I figured it might be soreness from internal stitches, but does it makes sense to get pain after I've been painless for over a week? And I feel like the area of the pain is too low to have anything to do with the surgery. Not sure!

Remember guys muscles and nerves have to come back together. They will awaken and start hurting for a few weeks. Our bodies are amazing how they heal.
