If associated with food or fluids at all I am to call him. He said of course you should expect muscle pain there are 6 port sites. He said also call him with anything that doesn't seem right. Its his job to figure it all out. Mine was 5/23

Thank you so much. That makes me feel a little better! I do feel each day it gets better.

I'm 12 days post op. My left side has been killing me since day 1. I've asked about it even after my drain was removed but they said it's normal and just take Tylenol. That's not helping, lol. I feel like a little old lady, hunched over when I walk because standing straight is a no bueno for me, lol.

I'm having RNY monday and during my pre-op class last week we were told that our left side would have more pain due to the incision there is the one the doctor uses to pass the instruments thru. The nurse said our muscles and nerves there might spasm and if it does to call and we would be given a muscle relaxer and that would help it alot.

I was just in the ER yesterday for this pain. CT scan showed I have a large hematoma that's causing me a great deal of pain. Thankfully there are not any leaks or infections. They prescribed me Percocet for the pain and said it'll surpass.
