Pain in left side!



Recommended Posts

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 :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
