new pain - RNY 10/27 - any ideas?

Hi all,

So I had my RNY on 10/27 and have definately had pain.  As of this morning I have a new pain in my lower right abdomen.  It is kind of a sharp pain but is not constant.  There is no incision there.  So I an not sure what it is.  Anyone have any pains like this?  I was wondering if it is gas, but I am having bm's although they are watery and very dark brown.  Anyway any help would be great!

Hi Jeanne,

 It sounds like gas to me, although I am no expert.  I had some sharp pains like that (and still do) and the best thing I did was get up and move around.  Walk, walk, walk, and it eventually works its way out.  You can have the gas with the bms so no worries there.  Also, be sure you are drinking plenty and take your pain meds when you need them.  Lastly, when in doubt, call your physician.  No question is a stupid question! 

Thanks for your post.  I spoke to the doctor and he thinks I pulled something.  Makes walking difficult.
