Day 23 post op. Still in pain >.<

So I had my sleeve done 10/3 and I thought I was getting better but I'm actually getting worse. I have this sharp sharp pain above the incisions where they remove the stomach. Went to the ER yesterday and they ruled out gallstones and infection. Just wanted to know if anyone else still had pain at this time?

I'm a month post-op tomorrow, and I haven't had any significant pain since the first week. Did you talk to your surgeon?

It's possible that you've got a case of pancreatitis, it does happen sometimes. You'll have to talk to your surgeon to get a real answer, probably some bloodwork - hard to diagnose these problems online.

I had a pulling feeling from the top of the biggest incision which is the one they took my stomach out of...

My surgeon and nurse said its completely normal. Its being caused by the stitch that they put into that muscle. My incision finally stopped hurting around week 4... Walking helped even though it was a bit painful... I am almost 6 weeks out and dont feel it anymore.

At almost exactly a month out I had sudden severe pain- the ER ruled out gall bladder issues. They gave me some IV pain meds & a bunch of Fluid - felt better the next day. I was definitely dehydrated
