Hi Saw Doc today and all is good. he said its okay to still have some pain, told me what to look out for, and call him if i need to. explained that they move a lot of stuff around, and i have had a few abdominal surgeries before, but this one is scary. Now what to do with heartburn, I must have eaten to fast.

thank you temkins, it is between my two bigger incisions on the right side, they look okay but that space is very tender to touch. hopefully, i can wait to see the dr on Wednesday and it is exactly what you say, i can live with pain if i know the reason is safe.

i have a dr appt but thanks to you both. the symptoms of gallstones almost nails it. ugh i hope not. will keep you posted.

isn't that a side effect of this surgery?

it could be all of the above that you mention. luckily, i see surgeon on Wednesday and he can assess. just hope it is not a leak. that's been my biggest fear from this procedure from the start, but my diabetes was so bad and all my specialists have been wanting me to have this surgery for over a year.

it is like a cramping and pain mixed on the right side, but very uncomfortable to walk, sit or lay down. have been off pain meds for a week or so, but its that uncomfortable. just wondering if it could be a change in stage

Hi, I am 3 weeks out of a gastric sleeve and I am experiencing pain again. I see the Dr on Wednesday so I will wait. Could it be the diet stage change?

Thank you Doreen. I also use ice packs sometimes. I guess I have to find patience lol

my cousin had the same procedure 2 yrs ago and never was on a pain med when she came home. the only issues she had was taking her vitamins. but she was in better physical shape then me. my other family members that had it done sound like me. their advice is take pain meds as prescribed.

thanks Doreen for your reply. the big one is where it is the worse, feel okay the other parts of my belly.

hello, I am new here. I am 6 days post op from a gastric sleeve. I get intermittent pain on my right side which is my biggest incision. I am scared of a leak. I see my Dr on Wed for a follow up. I am wondering if it is gas pains because it is intermittent or if it is something I should be worried about. pain meds help. yesterday, I did a lot of walking (more then normal) and wondering if I irritated it. Thoughts?
