I remember when I had my RNY in June 2009 I hade a similar pain sudden, sharp and quickly over) for the first maybe 2 weeks....It did pass but at the time it was quite scary. If the pain is severe or you are truely worried you can always visit your family doctor or urgent care or if it is severe or accompanied by other symptoms: nausea, vomiting, no bowel movements, intense diarrhea or urinary tract problems; etc.....you have the ER as an option.....just a thought. Will keep you in my prayers.........

I had the same pain, for a while but I called my surgeon and he adviced me to go directly into the emergency room, one there they ran an array of test and everything was fine...but I could barely drink or keep anything down, and I became so dehidrated that I could barely talk, breathe or standand, they addmited me into the hospital and hidrated me, when I saw my dr again he told me that he was going to send me for an endoscopi because he thought I had a blockeage....sure enough....once that was taken care of I had no more pain and felt 100% better...DONT WAIT call your dr make an appoinment with him and then go into the ER....better be safe than sorry....Good Luck and God Bless...

I had my open RNY surgery on November 15, 2011 and I still have the same type of pain when I move. The doctor says it isn't anything to worry about and I don't have any other symptoms so I just move slowly and it is gradually getting better. Hang in there.

I still remember that pain and my RNY was in Feb 04. I was admitted to the hospital overnight A barrage of tests. Nothing wrong. The pain could be from cutting through the muscle. The muscle has many layers and is painful healing.
