Pain in left side? One week post op...

[skinnyjenn 20]

I'll be one week post op tomorrow. I still have pain in my upper left side of stomach... It hurts the most when I have to get up out of bed or if I bend a certain way. Anyone else have this? How long until it goes away

I still have it too! My surgeon said it is normal, most of the 'work' is done on the left side (I had a hernia repair at the same time) Each day it gets a little less. I'm 9 days out. Had my drain removed yesterday which l\helped lessen the discomfort a LOT. good luck

I had a hernia repair too. The pain does get a little better each day tho so that is good! Good luck to you also! :-)

Pain on the left? I just had my revision Monday from the Lapland to sleeve. For me with my original wls the intense pain on the left for me was always me being backed up needing to make a BM, that's the area where to colon turns down. See if you can poop, it may make you feel much Better

I had the same thing. I developed a small himatoma (sp?), the blood gathers in the muscle tissue. It was a hard spot and sore. The doctor looked, said it wasn't infected and just told me that it was going to take a little longer to heal. Good Luck
