Left Upper Abdomen Pain



Recommended Posts

I just started a thread about this exact thing lol... Can anyone shed any insight in the upper rib pain etc anymore? Did it go away?

I have pain on my left side... feels like really intense runners cramps... I phone Dr this morning and he said it's because my stomach has changed shape and the muscles are spasming but that it is my stomach settling into a new position. It was excrutiating today, I could barely stand up this morning. I had to finally take a couple Tylenol. I am on day 5 after surgery. Original surgery was Dec 14th, but they had to go back in and redo the sutures on Dec 17th. My hips are also very sore and have bruising around my entire top of my thigh. My incisions are also bruised. I have never had any type of surgery or ever been in a hospital so it's all pretty scary and overwhelming for me.... I have nothing to compare it to. I hope I'm doing well !!! :)

I also can't take a deep breath or it hurts, and I cant bend over to put my shoes or socks on anymore, it feels like my incision is going to explode. UGH !! Anyone else have/had all these symptoms ?

Well I have to say I am 20 days out now and those pains are gone. Once in a while if I lay wrong or something I might get a little pain but for the most part it's all good:) how many days out are you guys now? Are your pains gone?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
