So much pain since yesterday

I am really worried. I am in alot of pain. I have this weird bloated feeling and ain in my left side. I started the soft food diet yesterday and ever since, I am in pain. I thought it might be normal so I just decided to go to bed early last night. I woke up a bit ago and now, even when I move or take a deep breath in, I get that pain in my side. Did I do something wrong?? Even Tylenol isnt helping. I am afraid to eat or drink because I dont know if I did something to my pouch. All I had yesterday was a bit of string cheese, bean soup, and a piece of thin cut turkey. Please, any inut would be helpful .

I would call the surgeon's emergency line and explain your symptoms.  Even if it turns out to be nothing at least you put your mind at ease.  I hope you feel better soon. 

Oh Lisa, so sorry. I did not have my surgery laproscopically but from all that I have read the most discomfort will be on the left side because that is where they put the largest instruments in for the surgery. You might still have some of the gas in you from when they blow up your belly and it is trapped still. From what I understand it gets trapped on the left side and near the left shoulder. Walking and burping is what I understand will relieve the discomfort. Stay on top of your pain med schedule to keep the pain at bay.

By all means call your docs office to put your mind at ease.

Lisa, I am not sure if your pain is RNY related, but I think if I were you, I would call your doctor and try to get in to see him today.I wouldn't hurt to check this out.

I am going to call when the office opens at 8am. I don't thinl its gas. I didn't have this pain when I went into see the dr on Tuesday. After I ate the turkey yesterday I felt really bloated after. The pain has gotten worse since. I am so scared that I messed up, but I followed all of the directions the dietician gave me so I don't know what happened.

Hi Lisa,

I had left side pain for about 1 week after my surgery. I was able to maintain it with the pain meds that they sent home with me. After that first week though it went away.

Always call your doctor if you don't think something is right. I had mine on speed dial.

I am 17 post op from RNY and last week was still painful in some areas.  Ask them for something stronger than tylenol.  That helped me get through.  Take it easy and don't stress about anything cuz sometimes emotional stress can cause discomfort.  We all tolerate food differently.  I had pain from small amount of chicken soup so just take it easy and eat maybe some mashed potates, cooked cereal or try some crackers and lowfat cheese.  Keep in touch and let us know how your doing.  I had my wls at NW on Oct 18 and this is the 3rd week and I am finally feeling somewhat normal.  They move alot of our organs around for the surgery and they have to heal too.  Take care, Linda

One post-op pain that suprised me was pain from intestinal gas from onions (not the surgery gas in the abdominal cavity). Took extra-strength chewable Gas-X. I thought I was gonna die from that pain. Call Kaitlyn to check on it. Hope it's nothing serious!

I am at the ER now. Feeling really bad. The doctor came in and pressed on my stomach and I almost hit the roof. Dr. Hungness said he wants to check for a blockage or anything serious. I am really dehydrated so I am on IV fluids. I am really scared.

So sorry to hear this....sending healing thoughts and good mojo.
