Intense pain on right side and at incision site upon movement

Hi all, I'm new to this site. I just had my Gastric Sleeve surgery on 8/18/15. It was an out patient procedure. All has been going well until 2 days ago. As I was laying in bed and went to turn to my right side a sharp searing pain shot through my right side and stomach. Now any movement I make that requires me to use any muscles or bending motions brings tears to my eyes. When I move I have to apply pressure to the incision site so I can move. My right side is sore to the touch as is the incision site. My 2 week follow up appointment is in two days. I don't want to jump the gun freak out and start calling. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it common, should I be considered or is this something that can wait until my check up, also could I have pulled a muscle?

Larger incision will be a lot more tender for some folks. Do you have sutures? Any weeping from incision sites? To put your mind at ease, you can certainly call your surgeon's office. Hang in there.

Thank you @@kimby1029 but no to all questions. I saw my doctor yesterday and he said it was the incision in the muscle. It should get better soon. If not then he would send me to the hospital for a CT.
