erikadawn 1 Posted June 30, 2012 I am four days post op, and I have pain in the right side of my abdomen. Is this normal? Should I be worried about a hernia? Any advice would help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deekaspor 89 Posted June 30, 2012 Of course always call you doctor, but yes it is normal. You will start to feel like your old self about 4 weeks out. That's about when the tiredness goes away, and you realize your side did not hurt, your knees feel better. It is a wonderful thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gaye jarvis 751 Posted June 30, 2012 I am 12 days post op and the pain in my side is the only thing that is really getting on my nerves, I can't do anything without it pulling, so I am looking forward to the day when I will not feel it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christine Kirk-Lopez 5 Posted June 30, 2012 I'm glad you posted this question as I had surgery 5 days ago and also have the pain on the right side where I imagine my new sleeve is located. I am still having to use pain medication just to keep this area from being too painful. The meds knock the edge off enough that I can be functional. I am definitely getting better but the right side pain is still pretty intense without the medication. Hopeful that this is just a normal part of the surgery, given they cut out 3/4 of our stomachs. I'm still pretty tired but getting stronger every day too. Best wishes on continued healing : ) Christine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
