Burning / Stabbing / Ripping pain on my left side

[Jentastic19 13]

I was sleeved on 8/31 and have not had the greatest adventure. I ended up in the hospital for 6 days after surgery due to some bleeding and oxygen issues. Been home a little over a week and these past couple days I have been experiencing a debilitating pain on my left side.

It is between incisions, so it's not an infection. My incisions all look great. It is inside and feels like my muscles are being ripped apart.

Has anyone else had this experience? If yes, how long did it last?

Since you've already had a complicated post-op course, I wouldn't sit on this...call your surgeon/team and get seen ASAP.

I had only tiny tugging pains directly under my incisions, so anything more would be very alarming.

Your tiny pains, how long did they last?

I have and I had to really work that muscle their probably tight and need to be worked mine was bad I had to take pain meds and walk around do certain movement while it wasn't hurting at the time. And I'm feeling better now. But again if it's reallly concerning it doesn't hurt to call them

@@Jentastic19 Only about a week to 10 days, they were so minor that I don't really recall. I had one incision (where they pulled my stomach out) that was sorer and still has a lump from the suture under it, but nothing really painful. I'm sorry this is all happening to you
