I had gastric sleeve surgery on Sept. 30. Week 1 was panadol, then pain free from week 2. Now after 3 weeks and 4 days i am having sharp, shooting, stab like pains near the site of the largest incision. Is this normal? Is it the nerve endings and the muscles at final infusion stage or should I be worried? I've been resting & getting sleep and at least 60g of protein in. I haven't had a bowl movement for a few days. I'm on soft foods (eggs, fish, ground beef, cottage cheese).
