It feels like its bruised inside??? I go to the dr tomorrow but any ideas? I didn't have a drain and my incision looks good.

I've seen others post that they had pain in that area. Did you have your sleeve done with the STARR system where they only use on incision? That may cause some pain beside the belly button since that's where they actually cut...and that may mean you have stitches in that area on the inside that are pulling a little as they heal.

Please let us know what your doctor says, especially if you had a one incision surgery. I'm curious.

I was sleeved 5/31 and I too have pain on right side. I feel it when I walk, sit up , yell or tunrn over in bed. It has been improving little by little. I think it is muscular. I have three scars. My belly is still swollen but it has only been four days.

I am 2 weeks out and had some pain on my right side. I asked my surgeon and he said it was just part of the healing process. He said there were internal sutures and scar tissue was starting to form. And certain motions can aggrevate them. He said it would be normal for a while even if my incisions are healed. Mine felt like I had pulled something and I had not done anything strenuous. I told him I was just making sure I hadn't tore something in there. He just laughed.

I have four incisions on my tummy and one over my belly button. I will post tomorrow to tell u all what the dr says..I'm hoping its not a hernia.

Pain on the right side is normal and will last about 4 weeks but should get better each day. Yes, you are bruised from the operation and them having to move stuff around to get to where they need to.

I was sleeved on the 7th and it is totally normal. I had the same pain and couldn't figure out why. I think it is just the fact that your whole abdomen is bruised and is healing. My pain has been gone for at least 3-4 days now.

Hello all..Doc said it as normal its frm the stitches inside.He said the pressure from when they removed my stomach from the incision near my belly button. Glad to hear he said its normal
