Pain 2 weeks after GB surgery



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on the 19th of November and have dropped 20lbs so far which is goo but I have a pain which won’t subside on my left. Dr said that’s mainly where he stitched but boy it takes my breath away🤕

I had the same pain and it turned out to be kidney stones. Idk if some people feel kidney pain more up front than the back but I sure did. I only had back pain once on Tgiving and I went to the ER because i didn't think it was a kidney stone. I had no other symptoms. One is quite big so it must have been building for awhile. I have pcos so I thought it was that pain all year.

My kidney stones felt like back pain and also like gastro or a funny tummy. It meant I didn't get diagnosed for ages coz I thought I had been eating dodgy food and my GP thought I had giadia!

I have been growing my stones for a year (at least the 12mm one) and didn't get back pain all year. That's why I just kept getting diagnosed as pcos or UTI. It hurt but not like labor. Maybe I just had really bad labor to compare it to.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
