2 weeks post op - sharp shooting pain

[Bobbiep 0]

Hello all,

I had my vsg on December 10th.

The pain has sucked, but over the past 3 days or so the pain is located only in one spot. It's in my lower right belly. It comes and goes depending on my movement and type of of movement and it's a sharp shooting pain. It starts about 2 inches below my largest incision and shoots down and to the right.

This pain is more unbearable than the original post surgery pain was.

Any idea what this could be?

Thanks in advance!

Bobbie

Yeah... i might have an answer for you... this is where they took your tummie out of your body, and when I was talking to my pa today... i expalined that i had the same sharp pain... that you just described... and it' also where they possibly did a stitch ... and yes it will hurt for a while... they told me to take continue with the tylenol. hope this helps.

Usually the lower left incision is painful for sleevers, lower right for bypass, that said if your surgeon was left-handed or learned by standing across the table, all bets are off. I swear some surgeons double stitch everything for safety purposes, don't want any inner herniation. But we all heal and get better. Didn't get this size in one day, so you'll probably heal in increments instead of one miraculous swoosh.😝❤😝

It could very well be from the surgery but I would have your surgeon check you. It could be appendicitis

I have the left-sided pain and it hurts like a mother-trucker! I can barely bend over and rolling over in bed causes me to cry out. I'm pretty tough when it comes to pain - this is labor-level pain. It only lasts for a minute or two, but holy WOW!!!

However, I am thinner and I prefer to focus on that!!!! 😎

I am having same horrible pain but it is like a burning pain! When I lay down or sit still I am fine. But as soon as I move to get up or walk it is HORRIBLE! Takes my breath away. I saw my doctor this past Friday and he said it is normal. It is from stretching, pulling, cutting muscles etc. I am just curious how long it will last. It is making me super crabby and unhappy!
