I have been experiencing side pain on my left side- near the large incision site. It comes and goes but usually stays for a couple of days at a time. I called my doc today because at times it hurts worse then others and I want reassurance that it is normal. I was told it is nerve pain from the surgery and it will go away eventually. They are going to get me some type of girdle to compress the area and I was also told to try hot/cold comps. Anyone else experience this? I am wondering how long it usually lasts??

I was dying with it, after sneezing or coughing. But that was my only pain, was also reassured that it was ok. Felt more like a bruise or hematoma. That said I quit wearing my support and stopped pain meds and the pain is only a glimmer now. So my advice is it will get better.

I have that pain as well. I was told that the majority of the work is done on that side, so the nerves and muscles are sore. Sometimes it's a sharp pain and other times just a dull ache. It has improved every week, though.

Was the worst for me, too! My only real complaint after the surgery! Never thought it would go away, but it does.

      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.
