All tests show clear. No clots! May just be muscle pull/soreness but for 7 days! Glad to rule out everything. Going to get an Rx for liquid pain & inflammation. They did find inflam around old port area but that's not where my pain even is. Praying it just goes away soon! I cant sleep or get comfortable in any way. Of course 4th day with Migraine.< /p>

Oh, good! I'm glad all is well.

You poor thing, with a Migraine in addition to that horrid side pain. We'll just have to pray for an Easter miracle that all your pain will disappear today.

I started having the pain a week post op, started after I vomited. Felt horrible, sharp pain, throbbing, and especially when I got in/out of the car. Being a police officer I get in and out several times of the day, I took 2 weeks off after my surgery and I've been back for a week now.

Today I was stupid and went to DQ and got a vanilla shake, BIG MISTAKE!!! I threw up and BAM the pain hurt so bad I was laying on the ground. My partner called for an ambulance and I was so embarrassed when over 12 squad cars showed up, my sgt and my LT. Grrrr, I got to go home early though,

I am 5 weeks out of having the sleeve and I keep having the pain on the left side. It comes and goes but feels like I am being pinched from the inside out. I had it originally 2 days out and was told to take childrens Ibuprofen and use a heating pad. It helps. I happened again last week and now this week. Does it eventually go away for good? This is going to be a real "PAIN" (lol) if this keeps happening.

My pain is on the right side. It goes and come but I feel it mostly when bending over. I hope its nothing serious. I will follow up with my surgeon next week.

Thank you. Today seems it's a little better surgeon said it's from where the drain tube was and will be sore plus The gas is a killer alone. I am also paranoid that every thing that can go wrong will.

I have the same problem. The DR said it's probably because that's the side he took the stomach out on.

Mine is on my right side as well... I am 19 days post op....and it started 4 or 5 days ago. Wearing stomach binder helps... Only hurts when I am active. Hoping it's just healing. Dr doesn't seem concerned.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
