I am 9 days post-op from RNY gastric bypass surgery and I know there are pains that come from it. I'm feeling great except for this one pain in my lower stomach on the side. It's where one of the larger incisions is and gives me this horrible pain when I bend over or really just move. It takes my breath away how much it hurts. Is this a normal pain or should I call the doctor?

When in doubt call the dr. I did have pains like this for about a month, but Im not there with you. Call and atleast let them know.

def call your doctor..it's so early out it could be normal but there just isn't anyway to know for sure!

I had the exact same symptoms and called my doc. I was told that under that larger incision they make some stitches that hurt for almost a month. Mine was on my lower left hand side. I was so relieved that nothing was wrong.

It's probably normal, but definately call your surgeon and put him in the loop.
