Hello everyone... I was sleeved on 10/31/16 so I'm 6 days out and I am experiencing these wincing pains in both sides of my torso if I take a slightly deep breath. This has been happening ever since surgery. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so what can be done about it. I do have COPD so I am wondering if it has anything to do with my lungs. Aside from this issue, I feel great. No other pain at all.

It's hard to say if it was a same thing...but I remember a pulling/wincing pain if I moved a certain way.....I believe it was an internal stitch.....but it's always best to contact your doctor's office with questions concerning post op pain.....always best to be safe rather than sorry! Good luck and congrats with your surgery!

Please call your doctor,better to be safe when Pain is involved,I know everyone is different but I am 12 days out have had lil to no pain down 20 lbs and feeling great.

If I had painful issues I would be on the phone asking questions!!

Good luck with your journey!

I am 9 days post op and felt the same mine seemed to be either wind or the way I was sleeping but found the PPI meds and dispersible pain meds helped. But if worried contact your team x
