post-op SEARING pain on right side ???



Recommended Posts

hi all!

I was banded on Monday Aug. 13. I'm really feeling great all in all. even wound up on my stomach last nite sleeping.. !

BUT (there is always a but)

i have this SEARING pain on my right side. not where the cut is. but like an inch or 2 over. and the port isn't there (at least that's what Dr. told me). So when i asked her she said she may have cut some nerve endings and pain will be there for a few weeks. (thanks)..

The thing is i can sit and canlay with right foot bend. And when i stand if crouch over to the rite side i'm ok.. (just looks a little retarded) and if i lift my rite foot like on a ledge of chair when i stand it's fine..

ANYONE have experience with this???? I feel like my muscle there is RIPING APART....

it scares me..

THanks

I'm sorry to hear that you're in so much pain, how awful! No help here, I haven't been banded yet. Just wanted to say hope you feel better!

I ask that because you are ripe for gas about now. It could be that....you didn't mention having any gas pains yet....

Adhesions is one thing that comes to mind. However, that doesn't really sound right. I'd get back with your doctor and I would INSIST.

Hi everyone I registered today. Just this week I started thinkng about getting banded.I'm having all kind of good but mostly bad thoughts. I want this but I'm worried about the change in my eating habits and the side affect when I get older. Please talk to me

I agree _ that doesn't sound right. I was banded on wednesday and I have the not so lovely gas pains, but no muscle pain- although my whole belly is quite tight feeling. I also now can't tell what's hunger pain or gas pain....

Muscles and ligaments get all tweaked during any surgical invasion. Could it be various internal filaments balking at movement until their bruising heals?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
