Hello everyone. I'm new and this is my first post. Mostly everyone seems helpful and supportive here, so I just wanted to ask a question about pain. I was sleeved on 8/25. I had my post-op follow up with surgeon on 9/7 and he cleared me for all exercise (except abdominal exercises). Today was the first day I cleaned the house from top to bottom since surgery, and it took me about 4 hours. My stomach is killing me! It feels like muscular pain, which would be understandable since the most exertion I've done since surgery is walk. I think I just overdid it, but I was curious if anyone else experienced pain like this after their first major exertion? Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks very much, everyone. I called the surgeon and based on my symptoms (no nausea or vomiting with the pain), he thinks it's muscle pain. He told me to hold off on the housework for another two weeks to avoid complications with potential hernias. "We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." --- J.K.

That's exactly where I'm having my pain as well! I'm sorry you're having pain too, but I'm glad to know it's nothing horribly wrong. Thanks and good luck. "We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy." --- J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
