What Causes Abdomen Pain Post Gastric Bypass Surgery?

I had RNY Gastric Bypass 5 1/2 weeks ago. Last weekend I picked up the laundry basket and felt a pull in my abdmomin right side of belly button. Now I am experiencing a searing pain when I take a deep breath in or cough while sitting or bringing my right leg over my left and am unable to bend over. What can this be?

Hi ! Good morning. i am Dr Shareef answering your query. You might have got a muscle pull due to which you are getting such pain on movement. You could go for some anti inflammatory drug along with a proton pump inhibitor drug for a symptomatic relief. However, if the pain persists or increases, then you must visit your surgeon to rule out any other post operative problems.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
