So as I posted a few days ago. I suddenly developed right sided abdominal pain nearly 3 weeks post op. We were concerned about gallstones, but the ultrasound and CT were negative. However, on the CT scan there was evidence of inflammation below the site where the stomach was removed and the muscle pulled together. The surgeon believes an internal suture "popped" and the adjacent muscle tissue became inflamed. Narcotics have not been terribly helpful, so we agreed to a few days of an NSAID to reduce the inflammation. I'd like to reduce the pain so I can get back to exercising.
