Normal Pain Or Something To Be Concerned About?

LauraKitty · November 24, 2011

Hello! I was sleeved 11/4.... everything is going rather smooth except sometimes when I eat soft foods, which I just started I get back pain? Does anybody else experience this? Normally I just stop eating or drinking but is it normal?

Also, I went back to work after 2 weeks... I work about 11hr days and I feel like the right side of my stomach is hurting more than usual. Its not a sharp pain but more of like a tightness. Did I over-do it? Before I could sleep on my side and now it hurts more .....theories?

Thanks!

Laurakitty,

I cannot speak to the back pain but I have had that tightening sensation over the 5 wks since I got sleeved. The muscles that were cut thru are healing.and I believe that tightening.feeling is the healing going on. Leah

Thanks for the info... so how long did it take for the tightness to go away?

Initially, it lasted about 3 or 4 days. I get it every now and then for less than a whole day. I will just feel a tightening, kund of atabbing pain on one side. Doc assured me it's normal.
