Hey! I have a pain in my right side of my belly, it has always been there just gotten worse within the last few days... I'm starting to get scared. I am 8 days post op. Has anyone had this constant pain as well?

No, I haven't had any post-op pain. I suggest you call your surgeon.

I am 10 days post op and my right side continues to hurt, but my surgeon said that's where they removed my stomach so it may be sore up to a month. Mine seemed to get worse around day 8 through today, but if it's more than uncomfortable though, you really should ask your own surgeon to be safe.

I was sleeved 12/4 and I still have pain... On the right side where the biggest incision is located... My surgeon said the pain is normal and it can last up to 6 weeks if not longer... The way he explained it was that, he had to scrap around my stomach, cut, stitch and remove 3/4 of the original size... He says that the whole area is healing, not just the stomach, and everyone deals with pain differently. I stopped taking my liquid hydrocodine after 4 days postop because I didn't like the feeling of being "high" and then I'd also pass out in dead sleep about a half hour after id take it, which screwed up with my Water Intake and meals... Hope that helps.

I was sore for a solid month, which my doc said was normal. Then, suddenly one day I woke up and felt totally fine.

      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.
