You might want to check with your surgeon. I know we're all different but I had no pain from my incisions after maybe 3 days. Sure, there was tenderness for a period of time but nothing like what you've described. I'd call the doctor ASAP.

How long was your process?
BeingShawnie replied to Newbeginnings313's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a six month weight management requirement before submitting. Started in July 2016, was hoping for a February date, no joy, didn't get scheduled until May 16, 2017. You might want to check that you don't have a required six waiting period and that they actually have on file all the required docs. to submit. I know my brief delay was from missing documents that I had to personally track down from various pre-op testing. I also called my insurance company to verify if they submitted and to check the status of my claim. Good luck. -
Surgery: 5/16/2017-Liquid diet is killing me
BeingShawnie replied to Ima VSGee's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
May 16th here as well. In the middle of my Pre-Op liquid diet. It's a struggle but surprisingly I'm hanging in there. I just keep a big cup of crystal light beside me all day and drink constantly. -
This feels like forever
BeingShawnie replied to Frenchie1977's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm also in the 6 month wait club. It's frustrating to say the least but I'm looking at it as a time to research and get things in order. My first appt. was July 18. Now, I'm counting down the days until Dec.
