thankyou for your reply Ed_NW. It starts making sense now but I didn't experience the new pain until the last two weeks. As in, from wk2-6 post-op, I was able to bend over and move around without pain. This new pain came back the last two weeks and it's at its worst today. It hurts so much just to sit and get up. I couldn't bend over at all today. This is normal? I'm thinking if I should restart my pain medication...

Hello, I am new to this forum. I had my bypass on January 29th in a Hong Kong hospital. The surgery went well and I have not had any complications except recently, in the past couple of weeks, I am developing sharp pain underneath the healed scars. It feels like the fat beneath is being torn apart. It got so bad this morning that I couldn't even get out of bed without squeezing my fat together to my side. I told my surgeon about this but he is not particularly concerned as long as i'm not developing other symptoms like fever or vomiting. It's incredibly lonely for a bariatric patient in Hong Kong. The community here is almost non-existent and I long to meet buddies who are in similar progress with me to share and cheer me on along the way. I have so many questions about exercises, nutritions and diet and often there is no one to turn to because the support in HK for bariatric patient is next to nothing. So a lot of the time I'm just making things up along the way just hoping i'm doing the right thing. It would be good to have a buddy...

My first post here 🙂 I had my bypass on January 29th and it was fine ever since, no discomfort in relation to eating or daily movement including mild exercise. But I'm experiencing new pain underneath two of my surgical scars by each side of my rib cage. I spoke to my doctor but he is not too concerned. It hurts a lot just to get out of bed. feels like the fat beneath the scars is being torn when I move. Anyone is experiencing similar pain? How do you deal with it? I hurt my ankle three days ago while exercising so right now have just been resting at home. This pain around my surgical scar is not making things easy. Is this normal? Please share your thoughts and tips. I'm from Hong Kong by the way, it's incredibly lonely to be an Asia bariatric patient in Hong Kong. I have zero bariatric buddy here, needs support.
