Eighth Day after VSG - Abdominal Pain

Jun 26, 2021

Ok, surely I should have expected to have some kind of abdominal pain since a surgeon got in there, blew up my tummy with air, turned things around, snipped this and that then pulled out a lot of it.  Yet as I focused on the outward incisions I forgot all about what must be happening inside.

 

Last night I could barely sleep.  I had a dull, heavy, tagging pain on the right side waist area where I assume the sleeve is located. It is a nagging discomfort rather than pain.  At 4:30AM I texted the surgeon's nurse to explain and she did not seem concerned. "You are healing" is all she said.

I had avoided all pain medication since Day 2 after surgery but if this goes on I will take some tonight before I sleep.
