I'm having discomfort under my left breast that turns to a sharp pain when I take a deep breath. I also have costochondritis but it's been a long time since I've had a flare up. I'm 10 days out. Help? The pain isn't bad, just in a concerning place. I also had a sharp pain that roamed around last night on my right side/abdomen, that's where my biggest incision is too. Guess I'm just nervous. Advice would be awesome!

3 weeks post-op. Everything is going good. The other day I did something to my stomach (not my staple line) either internal stitches or scar tissue maybe. Now every time I try to bend or get up from sitting it hurts in one specific spot on my left side. It's not excruciating, but it hurts. Anybody else experience something similar? Don't know if I should call my doc

I pulled a few muscles on my right side where my major incision was. I got up wrong, then heaving made it worse. It was a pretty specific spot and was intensified when I moved in a certain way. in my opinion it sounds much like your problem. But I'm not an expert! A heating pad helped tremendously! If its a concern, call your doc. Make 'em work for what you paid them! ;) keep me posted!

Boston George welcome to the club... I'm two weeks out and it happened to me yesterday. Left side right below the rib. I did a lot of reading about it, seems really common. I talked with my doctor today and he said the same thing, common. Just try not to over do it everything is still healing. But I also read it could take months of that pain coming and going

I was about to say this same thing about my rights side.... I think I got up wrong and strained the muscle last week and it hurt for a few days then stopped. I think I did it again last night because the muscles are sore again today but it definitely feels like muscle soreness.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
