Stomach/Gastric pain

[Green1 16]

Are you supposed to have pain in the stomach area? With this surgery does anyone experience and discomfort or feel something different? Is this normal to have this cramping, muscular pain?

You have surgery tools thrust through your abdominal cavity.

I imagine there will be pain post-op. Are you on pain relief meds?

They did when I first got it done. The thing is this has been going on for a long time. I dunno why this is going on.

If I sit in a chair slouched it feels like a horse kicked my ribs and I have to sit up straight. This comes from body mass changes that impact everything from your body posture to internal organs and their positioning as you lose weight. That said, have you let your surgeon know you are still having issues?

Did you get the abscess taken care of? Maybe it has to do with that?

When did you have surgery?

yeah i let them know, they've known for a while now. i just wanted to ask if this was normal. because it really bothers me. i wish there was some pain meds out there that could make it go away.
