having been around in "this world" almost 7 years..believe me I have heard many, many stories like yours both at my local support group and online....it will get better, and a year from now you will be the post-bariatric patient telling others what you went through and that it was ALL WORTH IT.
No to "play" the roll of doctor, but your pain could be associated with the infection or it could be gas that has been built up, make sure to tell your doctor everything I assume they gave you a prescription for the infeciton or have some course of treatment?~!!
Keep your head up~!, it's just the beginning of a truly wonderful life..you know how there is that saying (you have to pay your dues)...
unfortunatly this is the time...after all our years of abusing our bodies with no exercise, eating the wrong foods or too much foods...this is part of our payback and it won't last forever.
prior to surgery 323lbs....4 years post-op maintaining between 108- 114 lb loss.
life is AMAZING when you continue on the right path~!. Use your surgeons gift to the fullest~!

Sorry to hear about the rough patch you are going through. Hang in there... deal with each issue as it comes... it will get better! A whole lot better! I, too, had a sharp pain on left side that started about 5 days after surgery. Even went to the surgeon to check it out. Turned out to be nothing really... just part of the healing going on inside. Only last about 3 days and then went awy.
Hang in there!
