  1. Yes that is normal. They have to put a stitch in the muscle after they pull out the stomach. Some people do experience alot of post op pain in this spot. Mine lasted for 3 1/2 weeks. Take ur pain pills, rest and make sure you ice the incision. The pain will go away I promise!
  2. Today is 3 weeks since I had my surgery. The incision site where they pulled my partial stomach out is very very painful. Unless I'm sitting down doing nothing I get a stabbing burning pain. When I get up from Bed I get the same feeling except it feels as though I am ripping wide open. I can't even sleep on that side because of the tenderness. My doctor gave me percocet and that only takes a small edge off. She also gave me lidocaine patches which were a waste of money they don't work. Has anybody else experienced this?

    Soreness at incision spots?

    The incision where they pulled the stomach out pained me for over 5 weeks. My surgeon says some people take 4-6 weeks to heal. I had the burning and ripping open feeling. Finally after 4 weeks it's starting to calm down. Hang in there!
  6. I met with my surgeon today and he says it can take up to 6 weeks to heal. I hope the intensity goes down soon. @ Becky I do do that. It delays the pain until I let go. Thanks everyone for the advice!
  7. I need a buddy. I was sleeved in aug. 11 and am having a hard time.
  8. @ bittersweet I have had back surgery and a kid. Those seem easy compared to this pain. If it was just sore I can deal with that. God I pray for that. This is actual if I do anything but sit still I am in alot of pain. Laying down with 2 pillows under my head and trying to sit up feels as though my gut is ripping wide open. It's 3 times as bad if I lay with one pillow. I have an appointment with my surgeon thursday. I hope he figures out what is going on. Thanks for the advice.
  9. Thanks RJs/beginnings. I usually am very good with dealing with this kind of pain for 3 weeks is very taxing on a person.
