Sleeved 10/10/17 - Pain question
Doing well but have a few questions or want to know if anyone had the same experience. I am still on full liquids at this point and if I drink too fast the pain is not in my stomach area but the lower right side. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it sound like something I should be concerned about? Also feel like my abdomen is abnormally swollen. Looks like I could be pregnant lol. Just concerned that I may be doing something wrong. Any thoughts or advice appreciated. Thanks
The swelling is likely from gas - are you walking? Walk as much as you can and this will help release the gas that was used during surgery.
I'd ask your surgeon about the pain.

I had pain on the lower right side, near my bellybutton, for several weeks. I felt like I'd done hundreds of sit-ups!
I asked my surgeon, and he said that was where they do the most complicated internal suture, so it's normal to be sore. He recommended tylenol and a heating pad, which helped a lot.
