A Week Post-Op - Major Pain Upper Right Abdomen



Recommended Posts

I was banded last Weds (May 30). I've had the assorted aches and pains with the incisions and the pain with my port. Over the last 48 hours, though, I've been having very sharp, stabbing pains in my upper right abdomen. It's above where the incisions are, and it's inside my body. It sort of feels like the painful, stabbing side stiches you get when you exercise, especially after eating. It's painful enough that it takes my breath away.

I have not exercised, and I'm still on full liquids and have been very careful with how many ounces I've taken in. I spoke with the surgeon's office, and they said it could be from the port. I just don't feel that it is - I believe I've had that pain, and this is a different pain. If it gets even worse, I'm going to call them again.

Have any of you experienced this?

Yep... I was banded 5/29 and have it. Mine has actually sometimes gotten so bad that it feels like a "charley horse" in my abdomen. Doc said its because it is near the incision he did the majority of tha work and it may be sore for up to 2 months. Mine is worse if I don't get up and stretch regularly. And it is a pain!!!! Everything else(except that and port) are feeling great!! Hope you feel better soon!

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
