23 Days Post Op

[tailoredsleeve 8]

Today marks my 23rd day post op. All has been well so far, trying to take as much fluids and nutrients as I can.

Question, the are under my biggest incision, to the left of my torso, hurts sometimes. Its mild and I feel it mostly when I lie on my left side or sneeze. Is this normal?

I'm getting paranoid thinking they might have forgot something there. Lol.

I think it's normal but if it gets worse make an appt. did you feel around it ? Is it only that spot?

Hi...

Most likely is scar tissue. I do not have any big incisions, mine are very small. I have always made sure it was clean and rinsed well.

If the pain was more on the right side, I would worry about Gallbladder. But left side, most likely just scar tissue and healing process.

I totally agree it is more than likely nothing serious, but its always a good thing to give your surgeon a call if you are ever in doubt.

I'm 4 weeks out and still have pain on left side. Saw Dr this week and he said it's normal, muscles and incisions still healing.

I'm 23 days out as well and my left side definitely is definitely more tender than my right. This morning I was doing a light workout including some ab twists. My right side, no issue. Left side, a bit sore. I'm also more comfortable lying on my right side than left.
