Pain can be a sign something is wrong. I hope you find out what the problem is in your follow-up meeting (or sooner).

You might refer to your hospital discharge directions. Mine indicated the time to contact your physician for pain was as follow:

Uncontrolled or increased abdomen pain.

Shortness of breath or calf pain (possible signs of blood clot).

New onset of upper back or left shoulder pain.

Chest pain, rapid heartbeat and or dizziness.

Changes in your incision - new pain, swelling, redness, cloudy drainage.

I agree with James. Things should feel the same or better than when you left the hospital. There should be a gradual, but consistent "getting better". If suddenly you are feeling worse and worse, that's a sign that there could be a problem. Call your doc now or go to the ER.

Hope everything is ok!

Hope you got out of bed ok. If things are ever that bad, always have someone else drive you.. friend, taxi, ambulance.

Hello, I too am having tremendous pain on my right side. It happens when I move, cough, sneeze or lift my right leg. The nurse practitioner said that it's incisional pain. I'm on Tylenol Syrup for pain med and it doesn't work well. So I found on Walmart 's website a Tylenol syrup extra strength adult formula. It's 500mg per tablespoon and the dose is two tablespoon which is 1000 mg. Now this hits the spot! My doctor approved it. So now my pain is better controlled.

Your cut shouldn't be open. You need to go back in and be seen.

I agree with sexycubita, your wounds should not be open. That is an emergency. My surgeon told me not to take any NSAIDS or meds that could make me bleed. This is especially a reason to call your surgeon.

      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?

      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
