Soreness?

[SJMusicalman103 25]

I am about 16 days post op and have soreness on my left side.. Also sleeping on my sides has not been uncomfortable... Has anyone/is anyone else having this issue(s)? I know my body is still healing but it's annoying!

It still hurt 16 days after for me too. But it gradually got better. Now as long as I don't bump it, it feels fine.

I am 9 days post op. Occasionally I have had a pain in my left side but I put it down to still having a bit of gas left. Certainly when I have burped it has eased off.

Last night in bed (thank god I do not have a significant other!) I burped the whole night long. But then again I haven't been managing a lot of food so maybe it is wind from a very empty tummy.

Having said all that I had a BM this morning and felt better.

However I feel on top of the world and cannot stop smiling to myself.

Maybe I'm just crazyeeeeeee!

I'm 17 weeks out now, but after week 1 the soreness went away until week 3 and it was more of a muscle soreness. I could sleep easier on my left side than right side at this point. Just take it easy and if anything is more than a dull soreness or pain call your dr ASAP!

Before long this will all be behind you! Except for the burps...well maybe, I still have issues with burps.

I'm still dealing with soreness, but I'm only 8 days out from surgery. Considering all the work they did in there, I imagine we would be tender for a little while...

I'm expecting a lot of soreness as they're taking my band out and fitting a sleeve at the same time. They say the most painful bit afterwards will be at the port site of the band....eek! :-)
