I was sleeved on 1/4/16. all went well, and at 6 weeks I was doing great, started wearing jeans again and felt really good. I had to pick up my dog, was fine for 2 days and then the pain at my left side returned. I cant wear jeans and that entire area is so tender again. It hurts to bend over. Anyone had this problem? The Dr. said its normal and I just disturbed the area, the pain should go away.

I remember not being able to wear anything even slightly snug around my waist because of a pain on my left side.

Your Dr. knows best. Be kind to yourself and this too shall pass.

How heavy is your dog?? Possible hernia? I'd call the dr

my dog is about 40lbs, i could be underestimating. In any case, the pain has subsided, and I feel pretty good today, still tender to the touch but not as painful as before. It took a good week to finally feel better. I'm still a little afraid to put on jeans because of the tenderness, so I guess I just have to give it time. Thanks for your reply
