Lower belly pain 1 month post-op

[CarpeDiem129 38]

Anyone else have lower belly pain particularly on my right side where I sleep? It's mainly a soreness. I generally just have it upon waking for a little while. Could it be from incisions still or just a combo of the incisions and sleeping on that side. How long for everything to heal internally? I guess the scariest thing it could be is an internal hernia or something.

I just posted about this a week or so ago, I ended up ha ing an ultra sound and found out today I have gallstones. ugg. I'm 6 mo the post op, and not in pain yet, just a weird soreness.

Obviously please go get that checked out! But I had that kind of pain as well and it was just gas/indigestion passing through, but it felt more constant than it was before surgery. It takes about 4-5 weeks for your innards to heal (according to my surgeon). But do get checked out, you never know!

@nh-vsgirl @fruitandveggies Thank you both! I'm wondering if it could be from Constipation? Maybe gas/indigestion. I hope I haven't developed gallstones this quickly. I had an ultrasound done pre-op and didn't have any.
