cpatx 0 Posted July 9, 2016 I am 3 weeks post op. I stopped taking pain medicine after a couple days and have had no issues. I bent over today to pick up something off the floor and felt a very sharp pain in my upper right stomach area. It's very tender if I press on the area. Is this normal because of healing, or am I having a complication? Did anyone experience this? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted July 9, 2016 During the first month after surgery, I remember sharp pains if I moved strange sometimes. After surgery, I was on blood thinners for a little over a week. This caused me to bruise easily. So I was black and blue for almost a month and this bothered me more. If the pain is very severe and persistent, you might want to check with your surgeon's office.
