I'm currently 7 days post op. I understand we have made major changes to our body but I'm starting to get concerned...

I get very random sharp pains in the same location. Only way to stop them is to put pressure on my stomach... It only last for a few seconds but can come in multiple attacks (randomly)

Is this normal??

could it be the stitches pulling...? where is the pain located?

less than 2 weeks post op for me I got a bad case of bronchitis and was hacking coughing one night (I didn't have any cough Syrup :( ) and for the next 2 weeks I was in soooo much pain! dr said it was because of the stitches

i had those after surgery for at least a week. i thought they were spasms. they would last maybe 15 seconds. it went away though after a week or so.

I'm also 7 days out and get pains, a cross between heartburn and gas, in the same spot that is debilitating for like 10 seconds. It happens every evening when I lie down for bed. I figured it was gas or just my positioning...it's weird though

I read my surgical report and did not realize the number of cuts the doc has to make to have the body let go of that part of the stomach which is removed. Quick pains that disappear quickly could be spasms or adhesions, sutures, but I bet that is very scary to experience. I can't wait to here what your doctor says.

Thanks everyone for the responses.. Sorry with no internet it was hard to reply.

So since I posted this the pain has slowly came to a halt. The doctor said it was my muscles causing the pain.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
