Hey guys I'm 13 days vsg post op and about a day ago I started having this sharp pulling pain it happens when I inhale. It doesn't hurt when I lay on my left side though. Anyone experience this?

Is the sharp pulling pain on the right side, where the large incision was? I had that and was also warned by my surgeon it would happen and is normal.

I have it too. It's on the right side of my tummy. It started in the hospital... I got very sick from the anesthesia and had the dry heaves and pulled something deep...I had to hold my tummy when I moved around...couldn't bend over. Now at 5 weeks post-op it's much better now but still have twinges. When I saw my surgeon two weeks post-op I asked him about the pain and he said I probably pulled one of the deep stitches. Does that sound like your pain?

Nope my large incision was on my belly button and I've had no pain there thank God. To better explain it's like when you have an air bubble and can't inhale too well until it pops

I was told it was normal if it happened, too. I haven't had sharp pains, just twinges and not very often

I'm 15 days post op and have a massive pain in my lower right belly that goes around to my back. I saw my doc today for my 2 week update and he wasn't concerned. It hurts whenever I roll over, sit down, stand up, or yell (cheering my daughter's softball game!). It is sharp pain that feels like it's inside. Doc said ice and heat?

I had the same pain...it's finally getting better now that I'm going on my 5th week...hopefully yours will also

I feel my sleeve contract and relax all the time its a bit uncomfortable do yall feel that and will it go away

Im 6 days post

I don't feel that unless I eat or drink too fast or don't chew well enough...then I get a funny pain/pressure feeling. I don't want it to go away...it reminds me that my eating life has changed and so will my bad habits...I MUST be mindful every time I eat for the rest of my life!
