It could be gas pain.. muscular pain or referred pain.

I did get a similar pulling stabbing pain early post op on the left side... and a little lower on the right... basically a few inches away from my cuts... early out i got a few different pains and sensations... but they all resolved by my 2nd-3rd week.

If your pain is severe, i would contact your surgeons office.

I have one incision under my left boob, my surgeon said its the bigger incision due to taking out the stomach, and it's been the only pain I have had since surgery 7 days ago. Anyone else have horrible incision pain? I can barely sit up or pick up babies? ( I run a home daycare)

Could be gallbladder if you still have it, and if not then It's most likely gas

I don't believe you should be lifting anything at 7 days post-op. What were your post-op instructions?

[Express09 10]

Kirstenle: I asked my doctor and he said I can't lift over 20lbs. None of my daycare babies are over 20lbs.

Not sure if I have the same thing but lately I have had chest pain and it's connected to indigestion but it feels more like bruising pain

I also get the sensation like I am stretching something to hard and it's causing severe side stitches/cramping

I also noticed my urine is a dark orange color

No pain when I urinate

The surgeon and nurse said they think I should work on hot and cold temperature things and drink way more liquid

I'm worried and I feel awful (2 weeks tomorrow )

For a few days I was having issues where when I would swallow a sip of Water or anything I'd try to eat I'd get these really bad cramping stabbing pains also

@@stephenmarksarro It sounds as though you may be dehydrated - and you'll feel horrible when you are. You've got to get fluids in - try broth, tea, sugar free popsicles, flavored Water, G2, pedialyte, etc. Try different temps of fluids to see if you tolerate it more.

@@stephenmarksarro I agree you sound dehydrated...sip as often as possible. your urine should not be dark.....
