21 Days Out & Having Unusual Pain...



Recommended Posts

Best way to describe it is a constant pain on my right side towards the front that gets worse when I move around. At 21 days out I feel pretty good.... A little incision area pain, but for the most part good.... Until this new pain popped up about 3 days ago. Any ideas or recomendations?

I recommend you phone your surgeon or physician. None of us are qualified to make an Internet diagnosis. Good luck

I was having the same pain last week. Mine was a cramping feeling to. Needless to say, I went to the doctor . Was admitted into the hospital for 6 days with a blood clot near stomach (sleeve area). My surgery was on October 1st.......

I would suggest going to the doctor as well. I had the same thing at about 3 weeks and my paid was from bending down alot and picking up after my granddaughter. Once I stopped bending down it took about 10 days for the pain to go away. Good luck.

The internal stitching is often stitched to our muscle wall. So as that tightens it can hurt if we pull. Massage and heating pads can help until the stitching dissolves. It can take up to 3 months.

That being said, you should still call your doc to rule out any complications.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
