Hi all.

I had surgery on 12/10 yesterday developed a pain under my right rib line which is also in line with my right boob (sorry just trying to explain where it's at).

It only hurts if I touch it but it's very tender. I feel fine otherwise and I assumes its a pulled muscle of sorts. I know our livers are right there as well I have one incision that is to the left and down about 2" from the pain. Where they held up my liver during surgery. I don't believe the pain is from that but maybe it is?

Any thoughts?

I'm eating, well drinking fine, feel fine been going for walks and such. Hubby and I, did do a lot of running around Friday maybe I just over did it?

Thanks for your help.

It's entirely possible that you yanked your internal stitches somehow. Just take it easy and if it doesn't go away in a day or so then call your doctor's office.

Also, if it hurts when you touch it, don't touch it :D

GM I have the same pain but mine is on the left side. I called the doctor and he said it was gas. He told me to take gas x and let it out every time I get a chance. Mine hurts when In bed or trying to roll over or trying to get up from relax mode. The gas x works and at night he said to take some of your pain Meds. It will eventually go away or ease up has you let the gas out.

Please call your surgeon. I don't have any medical training or information that leads me to believe it is something important, but it would seem that the surgeon should be notified when something occurs suddenly after surgery. Also, the doctor's holiday schedule is likely to be limited and you want him/her to be able to fit you in if he/she deems it important to do so.

Had that. It was terrible. Lasted a long 10 days. The pain was unbearable ay times. It was muscle.good luck..if you have to cough or sneeze, hold your stomach( more like press /push) on it with pressure, it helps.

Thank you, I will keep an eye on it for sure.

I do know when I had my preop ultrasound I did have a couple stones but my surgeon did not want to remove it at the same time. Especially since it wasn't causing problems preop.

I hope it stays put and I don't need another surgery soon.

I do but like I said it only hurts when I touch the area. It's not a constant pain. I just took my lortab to see if it makes it feel any better.

And yes. I did have a stone or two that were not problematic prior to surgery. I didn't know I had them until the ultrasound. And I did read that some get stones and end up having bladder removed after sleeve. Hopefully it doesn't come to that but I will definitely keep an eye on it. Thanks!

      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.
