Does anyone else feel like there's a pull when you stand up. I'm not sure if it's one of my incisions but whenever I stand up there's a tightness to my upper left side. God I know I'm probably just insane by now but with all of this pain and difficulty my mind is just going a million miles a minute. I wish they had done some testing before I went home so I could be assured that all this was nothing but I'm freaking out in my own mind.

Yes my incisions when I had surgery would feel as if they are pulling when I would stand up or bend over. It's definitely normal!

Yup - that's the big incision where they removed your stomach so there was some irritation to the muscle. And you use your abdominal muscles when you stand.

Yep lasted about 6 weeks. It's muscle healing.

Definitely had this as well and it freaked me out. At my two week post op appt, my surgeon said no restrictions. So I went back to the gym, cleaned my house, lifted my dogs, and did too much. I ended up in severe pain on my upper left side. Under my breast into my armpit and around to my left shoulder. I was told to rest and ice it. It still hurts every now and then. Be careful with standing and lifting.
