Pain in left side!

[kim2002 140]

I am a month and a few days post op, sleeved 8/8! I'm still having pain like deep down on my left side! Sometimes when I bend over, like to pick up something or tie my shoes it still hurts! I know it's prob from where my stomach was, and where they cut through the abdominal wall and stitched my back on the inside.....but just wondering how long this sensation will last!?!

I'd say you've just got a stubborn internal stitch. But after this long and it's still bugging you, I'd call your surgeon and see what he has to say.

My Big incision is on my right side next to my belly and still hurts, I guess because I'm only 18 days post-op.

And that's where the stomach was actually removed. Most people have pain in that incision more and longer than the rest. Give it time. You'll forget it's there soon enough
