1 month post VSG surgery question

Hi everyone,
I am about 1 month post op, and am just curious if anyone out there can recall how they felt physically around that time. When I am sitting, I still feel tightness inside on my right side. I feel a little bit like my senses are on "high alert". I go for walks, so it's nothing that interferes with movement. Is it just me getting accustomed to this smaller stomach inside me and the internal stitches? I would appreciate any input/feedback. Thank you!
 
Thank you, Dianeseattle. I don't know that I'm describing what I feel correctly to you. When I am sitting, I feel some tightness, particularly on my right side. But I will check it out with the doctor's office after the weekend. And I am not able to sleep on my right side without feeling some discomfort. It could be me feeling hypersensitive as I've never had a major surgery before.
