Uncomfortable Newbie

well this is my 3rd week post op.. and i feel wonderful.  I have only one concern and that is very mild abdominal discomfort.. my doctors office said that its probably due to the fact that I have been walking more and more and its probably the muscles/nerve areas that were cut during surgery being stretched... Has anyone else every experienced abdominal discomfort..particullarly on the left side..

I had Rouxen Y --laproscopic.

thanks a newbie..:)

Just wanted to say congratulations on your surgery!  Welcome to the forum!

I am sure your abdominal discomfort has subsided a little.  I would think it is normal,  you did have surgery.  Hang in there, there are good things to come!

I'd been experiencing a bit of discomfort myself from iabout 3 weeks out and sporadically since.   My surgeon explained that before pulling out the laproscopic tools, on some of the incisions (the big one in the middle, for me) they put a stich or two to close it.  Those generally take 6-8 weeks for your body to absorb.   So while they're healing, it's normal to discomfort while moving about.

Hope this helps.

thank you both for your input and yes the abdominal discomfort/pain at times is dissapating
