Occasional pain in lower right belly 4.5 weeks out



Recommended Posts

I'm 4.5 weeks out and I've been really good, sometimes to the point of thinking did I have an op! biggrin.gif Anyway, I get a bad sharp stabbing pain in the lower right of my belly and was wondering if anyone else had this (FYI this is nowhere any of my incisions). It feels like a really chronic stitch (you know the type you get from running) and I wouldn't ever call a doc about that - before everyone recommends that! wink.gif

I did manage to get one very low impact Step session in the other day, but this hurts just to walk around at the mo. I want to get exercising by New Year at the latest (ie Saturday) and was just wondering if other people had had similar experiences. Should I just take painkillers when needed? The pain comes and goes and I'm worried about constantly popping painkillers which is why I've been holding off.

Where at? I just had some tonight. Worked out with weights today and walked for an hr yesterday. mine are like flashing pains about 3 in above my belly button and 2 in.to.the right. Doesn't feel like pain from overeating. Almost like a spasm but pain instead. Seems to be better when I lay down.

Hi Amy, the pain's just above my right hip. I've been mostly OK for the last 48 hours. I did a decent workout for 1.5 hours yesterday morning and had a few seconds of pain in bed last night, so I don't think it's related to that. Fingers crossed it's mostly gone, but I'm just curious as to what it was! unsure.gif

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
