6 week post op and bad pain on left side



Recommended Posts

As anyone had this? The pain is not always there but when it hits it feels like I'm being stabbed under my ribs. Had CT, ultrasound and labs done all looked good. But has been three days and it really sucks. Any help would be amazing

I would call and speak with your surgeon. They would know better than us.

Everyone is different. Still, it wouldn't hurt to call them and check. It could be gas, constipation...anything. Good luck to you and keep us informed.

I'm 5 weeks out and from time to time I experience the same pain you mention. When I looked into the forum to see if anyone else experienced the same problem I found a couple of people who had a hernia repair along with the sleeve that had this same pain. And ironically my doctor performed a hiatal hernia repair on me as well.

I would try some gas x and see if it moves. Gas pains can be scary. Did u have an IVC filter placed before surgery to prevent blood clots? Not trying to scare you but its something I would inquire about with the surgeon. Wishing u the best.

Hello Healthiermommy!

Has the pain gone away? Have you found out what it was, I have exactly the same and was wondering.It would be very helpful to know how yours has been resolved. Many thanks

      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.
