I had my RNY June 20 th. I have lost 62 pounds. But this last two days I have had this tear, burning pain really low on left side. It shoots from about 3-4 inches long. But it starts if I sneeze, move wrong or twist. It’s not constant but it lets me know it’s still there. I called surgery office they seem to think it’s normal but idk. If I kinda push in on the area it’s sore. I did not lift or do anything to cause pulled muscle. I’m kinda worried it might be hernia or lord knows what. It’s almost even maybe a tad lower than belly button and about 6 inches to the left.

Any help or ideas appreciated.

Hey, I just had that! I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op, saw my doctor 2 days ago. I had the pain you described, it started 2 days before my appointment and was worse when i was moving around. I could get the pain to stop entirely if i sat still and rested. Anyway, when i told her about it she said "Oh, yeah, that's normal. There's a very large dissolvable stitch holding some stuff together and you'll get sore from it pulling when you become more active. In fact, since its dissolvable, it will break down at some point and you may even feel a pop if it breaks. But that's normal and the pain should get better after that." I was like, WTF?! Good news is that I took it easy for a couple of days and it's completely gone now.

I would hope me being 12 weeks post op it would have been dissolved already
