Left side pain

I had revision from sleeve to bypass 5/21/19. I'm having a lot of pain in my lower left side. Is this a common complaint?

So is mine.....The surgeon said they go through a lot of muscles. His instructs were if it is brought on by moving and resolves with resting its muscle. If associated with food or fluids at all I am to call him. He said of course you should expect muscle pain there are 6 port sites. He said also call him with anything that doesn't seem right. Its his job to figure it all out. Mine was 5/23

Yes - I had a revision too and when I woke up from surgery I honestly thought the surgeon had ripped out my left ovary because it was SO painful. The pain lasted a good 2-3 weeks afterwards. It does go though. Hang in there.

I'm 12 days post op. My left side has been killing me since day 1. I've asked about it even after my drain was removed but they said it's normal and just take Tylenol. That's not helping, lol. I feel like a little old lady, hunched over when I walk because standing straight is a no bueno for me, lol.

I'm having RNY monday and during my pre-op class last week we were told that our left side would have more pain due to the incision there is the one the doctor uses to pass the instruments thru. The nurse said our muscles and nerves there might spasm and if it does to call and we would be given a muscle relaxer and that would help it alot.

I was just in the ER yesterday for this pain. CT scan showed I have a large hematoma that's causing me a great deal of pain. Thankfully there are not any leaks or infections. They prescribed me Percocet for the pain and said it'll surpass.
