Hello all. I am 5 weeks post-op and now have a new issue. I picked up something fairly heavy and now, when I move, I'm having sharp pains in my stomach. They feel internal, not related to the incisions themselves. If im sitting still, it's just a slight discomfort.

Had anyone experienced something like this? I don't want to bother thre doctor if it's normal.

Please call the doctor. It's not bothering them and I'm concerned for you.

You aren’t bugging them, I promise. If you’re in pain then it needs to be addressed especially because you aren’t even 6 weeks post op yet. Hope you feel better.

I wonder of you pulled some adhesions/scar tissue. But definitely let you doc know in case it is something more serious. Especially if it doesn't get better quickly.

I had something similar happen - and it took 3 days for the pain to be gone. The doctor said there is a stitch that was pulled - which is why they have weight restrictions.

      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!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
