Weird Pain..has Anyone Else Experienced This?



Recommended Posts

Let me start by saying I have had zero incision or internal pain since coming home from the hospital. I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and starting getting a pain near my stomach last night. The pain is right where my stomach is, but my stomach doesn't hurt, if that makes sense. It feels like an internal ache. It hurts when I cough or move a certain way. I called the doctor and he said if I wasn't feeling sick, fever, or short of breath to just keep an eye on it. Is this normal? Does anyone else have achy pains like this?

I have like a dull pain on the left side by my belly button where they pulled my stomach out. I think mine is gas. I was hurting last night and then it subsided when I went to the bathroom.

sounds like the incision in the abdomen under the skin healing up..or itching like. If pain increases or redness or swelling occurs, see the doc

I had a dull pain on left hand side at about 3.5 -4 weeks post op. lasted about a week and vanished. Think it was just the stomach healing up. Guess there is lots of swelling and internal bruising.

Hope yours settles down soon

I have had it too. Dr said strained muscle from twisting and bending too much. It will get better as I heal. They said from blowing my stomach up from all the gas it stretches the muscles as well. Things r trying to get back in their place. Heating pad helps.

Thanks, everyone! I just need some reassurance sometimes. I'm trying not to run to the hospital with every ache and pain, but don't want to ignore something that might be serious. I love the support and advice I get from you all! :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
