I had gas pains and took gas-x tabs that go on your tongue which helped. They went away after the 3rd day other then that no pain. It's best to go to hospital if in pain or call Drs office see what they recommend.

I am experiencing a very shap pain in the lower left side of my stomach. Does anyone have any experience with this at all?

I had the same. That is the area that has the most trauma during surgery. It takes a little while longer to heal than other sites. Hang in there.

Yep they just keep telling me to take pain killers ... apparently some people heal over on that side slower than others

Yaaay !! Can we be buddies? [emoji8]
On day 6 or 7 after surgery you won't feel much pain hang in there! do you feel pain on your lower left side stomach when you walk a bit too much? I asked my surgeon and he said you shouldn't move about too much in the first week..

Yes we can!! [emoji16]

It's just the tightness and the fact I can't stand up completely straight yet because it is so tight. But yeah the lower left side probably hurts the worst.

It's so weird cause my surgeon and everyone is telling me to walk as much as possible. Everyone says different things.

I am 8 weeks post surgery (March 1/17) and now on solid food -the first two weeks were a breeze but i developed a pain near my sternum followed by trouble breathing and extreme fatigue..it turned out to be an ulcer which landed me in the hospital for 5 days.. if you are concerned about pain and it doesnt go away after taking something stronger than tylonol, there could be any number of issues. Passing it off might make things worse--make sure you get your surgeon's opinion or go to emergency

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
