Pain getting worse

I am 11 days post sleeve and my pain was getting much better, I could even lay on my side with a pillow pressed against my stomach. Starting yesterday the area under the incision (not the incision itself, the muscles underneath) began to feel extremely painful, making it difficult to move. This feels like a step backwards. This pain takes my breath away. Is this normal or should I call my surgeon's office?

I am experiencing the same pain below my incision and I am 11 days out. I am also now getting back pain...I wonder if all my muscles are just in shock.

Glad you got extra time off, Molly. I am going back to work Monday after 4 weeks. No way was I ready at 3, but I feel ready now, although I know I'll have to try and set some boundaries around self care.
