Thinner Peace 24 Posted July 7, 2012 I woke up yesterday with what felt like I strained my lower abdominal muscles. I also had a short bout of left shoulder pain and the pain from my stomach moved to the right side of my lower back. I dont recall lifting anything, only walking 4 miles yesterday. I normally would ignore this but only being 3 weeks out of surgery I wantt o make sure I am not overlooking something that could be more serious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie713 423 Posted July 7, 2012 Pay attention to whether you have reoccuring pain and is it constant or episodic. Gallstones cause a weird pain that radiates to the back and the right hand side of the abdomen near the ribcage. Quite common after WLS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N-Linda 9 Posted July 7, 2012 I have had a constant pain on my right side under my breast area. It is manageable but very uncomfortable. I am 12 days post op and hoping it is just wound tenderness and will go away soon .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
