I have not really had a pain problem post surgery but I have noticed that when I bend over I have a sharp pain on my right hand side. It is not excruciating, but it is enough to make me make a sound, and it does hurt. I know that the right side is where they take the stomach out and it can be more painful, and while this incision is painful when I stand up, or other odd times, this hurts more than it normally does, I almost feel like my stomach flips over when I bend over. I would just not bend over but that is pretty hard at this point. It does not feel better to crouch down because my whole big stomach scrunches into a large mass in front of me. Does this happen for a while in the beginning?

My pain on that side was due to a pulled muscle. My Dr told me how they actually take the stomach out and well, let's just say, after that visual, I understood why that side hurt.

Try to take it easy and maybe use a heating pad or warm rag when you finally get to sit and relax. It will pass, mine took a couple weeks, but it finally went away.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
