HI EVERYONE, Can you help me? I am going to see Dr. Webber- but he doesnt have clinic til Tuesday. I am having a jabbing. mildly severe ( does that make sense?) pain above and to the left of my left incision site. It still has a small drain thing in - looks like a wet noodle sticking out of me), but it's not that that is hurting me. I thought it was a hernia - but I spoke to Dr.'s coordinator and she asked if it was hot, red or swollen - none of those things. It feels like a jabbing pain, like something i****ting me inside. I press the muscle in, and it goes away so I guess I will have to do that til I see him, the only other option was the ER and I dont think they will be able to help since I am a bariatric patient. What do you think?? Does this sound familiar to you? Thanks a ton!! Kathryn

Kathryn, You need to go to the ER. They can call your doctor from ER if needed. It is better to be safe..... Nancy
