Im 9 days post op was feeling good until I got in a argument with someone over how much they spent on proten shakes. Now the side were my stiches are on the right hurts terribly. There is no leakage just a pulling sensation when I stand up. Ive been off my pain meds for a week. Might have to continue them. Has anyone else experienced this?

Could be they're being stretched and this is normal process as things adjust. Always check with your doc if you continue to have issues

This is funny because this is happening to me right now too. I am 13 days post op and was doing wonderful, no pain...until I lifted a heavy box that I shouldn't have at work and now, right by my largest incision on my right side it hurts soooooo bad. I know I shouldn't of lifted it, but I forgot because I was feeling so good. After I moved it I immediatly thought to myself crap! I shouldn't of done that! When I'm sitting it's okay, but getting up or sitting down or walking is painful. I took a tylenol, so hopefully that helps. I hope yours feels better soon!

This has just happened to me, too. My surgeon said it is most likely nerve pain and prescribed a medication to help with nerve pain called Gabapentin. I was sleeved 16 days ago and it just started hurting/burning sensation yesterday.
