Stabbing pain in lower right stomach



Recommended Posts

I am 11 days post op gastric bypass and I have had a stapling pain in my lower stomach on the right side. It wraps around to my hip as well. It doesn't hurt if I stay still or lay flat on my back, but once I start moving or lift my legs, it is a stabbing pain that takes my breath away. I've tried heat and ice, but they don't help too much. I'm hoping it just a pulled muscle and not something more serious. It's not a constant pain, bit it comes and goes. I made an appointment for tomorrow, but I wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue. Thanks in advance

Have you opened your bowels much since op? I hadn't since day after surgery (I'm day 11 like you) and didn't think I had to go as I thought my body was absorbing what I had consumed, but then I thought, hmmm what if I'm blocked?..so I took some liquid agarol last night and had to go a little this morning..I was having sharp pains yesterday too..

Yes, sorry for the delay. My Dr examined me and said that they use glue on all of the incisions except one. They use stitches and they actually suture to the muscle. We think that I just did too much that day and could have pulled on that suture. I did shave my legs that day and turn to lift something that I shouldn't have. She also said that I had a hematoma and to use a heating pad. She wasn't worried that it was more serious so didn't do any further testing, just come back if it doesn't get better. Each day since then I have felt a lot better. Now I only feel it if I twist or turn a little. Nothing at all like before...that was horrible horrible pain. Thanks for asking :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
