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!

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.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
