I too have experienced incredible pain in only one of the incisions. I DID call my Doc because I was concerned that it was not normal. This is the explanation that i received from my Doc: The incision is the largest and it is the spot where the stomach is removed. The muscles around the incision are affected. What has most likely happened is that during the closure of the incision, a nerve was caught in the incision. Doctors cannot see the nerves when closing the incision. The pain will lessen over time, but, will not completely go away until the stitches dissolve. That could be 6 to 8 weeks. My pain is lessening a little, but, it is still very uncomfortable. My Doc also suggests cold and hot compresses....alternating between the two. Hope this helps. Sent from my SM-N920P using BariatricPal mobile app
