Nervous, two weeks post op and emerging pain

Fortunately I see the surgeon today for my two week follow up however as of yesterday, I started having a increased mild to moderate left sided pain... feels kinda muscular though... just the same, I'm nervous... I also had a episode of chills last night with freezing feet and hands. No fever on thermometer so that's good. The pain has awaken me from my sleep in the night and when I find the most painful area and palpate, it's really sore with minimal pressure! I'm so nervous that something serious is wrong. I'm just two weeks post op and got off the extra surgery pain meds about three days ago.

Any thoughts??

  • I'm a little similar, just seen my surgeon. He said the left side hurts more and for longer. Try not to worry yourself to much, I'm sure your surgeon will put your mind as ease when you see them S

  • I actually had my stomach taken out on right side. Have huge scar. I am short so my scar looks like it is six inches long Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had pain like that 4 weeks out, had to have ct scan also (only made me drink 1 cup of fluid) and turns out hematoma due to doing to much. Out of work another 2 weeks. Can't walk as much as before as pulls when walking and hard time sleeping pulls when I move too much. Got abdominal binder which works well. Glad wasn't too bad for you. Hope your recovery is fast

I had to drink a whole 34 oz bottle of contrast in Water I'm an hour!!!

Then getting a iv in was drama bc veins suck, then body decided to have a allergic reaction ugh

Yes, definitely sore changing bed positions. I can mildly palpate my tummy and pinpoint the pain. It is very ouchie!! I think getting in and out if the car might be my downfall!!
