Sudden sharp pain at site of largest incision



Recommended Posts

So, I've been steadily feeling better since my sleeve surgery, then today I bent over to pick something up and felt an incredibly sharp pain in my left side. I am worried that I ripped open the incision internally. I can sit in relative comfort, but standing and walking are painful. It helps if I push in at the incision site when standing, if that makes sense. Will this go away by itself?

I see that no one has responded to this and it's been a few days. did you call your surgeon? What happened? that sounds like you pulled something.

I was in a lot of pain that first day, and it got better every day after. I was able to speak to the people in my doctor's office and they said I likely tore some scar tissue from the interior of my abdomen, but that it would heal itself in time. I was feeling so much better after my surgery, and I guess I just pushed myself too hard. Good news is that I can barely notice it today!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
