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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
