Hi all my name is Sass I live in Australia (Adelaide) and I am 3 weeks post op from my bypass surgery. Tuesday this week I all of a sudden started having this terrible left side stitch pain in my lower left side under my ribs. My doctor seems to think it is normal. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this as the pain is quite bad! Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!

YES! I had some mild discomfort the first week and a half and then all of a sudden under my biggest incision I started getting awful searing pain! It felt like my muscles were tearing apart I swear. It's been about a week now and it's finally calming down but still having discomfort. My friend who had her sleeve done last year told me it goes away around week 4

Oh and I used an ice pack on the site the days it was really painful, and that helped

I have the left side stitch that I have felt from moment one. My rny was 4/6, and it's annoying stitch. I'm 100% sure it's where he tacked the stomach to the abdominal wall. I was hoping it would go away after some wt loss. I watched a rny surgery video and that is the only way to explain the stitch is because it is an actual forever stitch, (tacking) the organ so it doesn't move to the abdominal wall.

Yup, thanks. It was painful last Tuesday night and then Wednesday morning it was gone :) just sore now which I'll take over how it was anyday.

This is a really bad but normal experience. I had no pain about 10 days post-op then BOOM! So bad I could barely breathe! It went slightly away then came back about 1 week later and stayed for almost 2 weeks. Then it just disappeared like it never was there. If you can get a stomach binder or even firm support hi-waisted spanks, that helps, plus a heating pad and using a pillow to put pressure on it also helps. I am so sorry you have to deal with this (I almost took myself to the Emergency Room, I thought something was torn). NO ONE warned me about this and I had a hard time finding anything on this sight about it as well but trust me, it's common. You will get through it and be alright in the long run, just hang in there!

Yeah pain is gone but binder actually made it worse, and are there guy Spanx? I don't think I could do those, lol. Heating pad and ice pack both were my saviors

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
