Weird pain

[katmaar 22]

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.

yeah I had pain ther for about 10 days post op, its the incision where they remove the stomach and have to cut through the muscle etc.

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.

My biggest incision is on my lower left side, there is no incision where the pain is.
