What Lori

Thank you!!! I have soooooooo many questions for my surgeon tomorrow! Lol

Hello all! I’m 3 weeks post op today. I’m down 16 pounds total. But I haven’t lost a single pound in 9 days. Isn’t it too early for a plateau? I can’t eat anything. Everything gets stuck. Even liquid. It makes me not want to try anything. Still having terrible pain in my right side. I finally see my surgeon tomorrow. If it wasn’t for my diabetes and blood pressure being under control with no meds, I might be rethinking my decision!

I’m 6 days post op from a robotic gastric sleeve. My large incision on my side is killing me. I cannot get comfortable in any position. I absolute can’t lay on either side. Sometimes it even hurts on my back. It hurts sitting up. I would expect the pain to get better, but I feel like it’s getting worse. That incision kind of indents in, almost like a stab wound. This is my sixth abdominal surgery. So I’m familiar with pain and recovery. I’ve never had anything like this. I mentioned it to my surgeon in the hospital. He said yeah that is where the stapler went in, it’s going to be sore. Someone please tell me it gets better!!! My back is killing me from laying on it.

I will stay up with it better!!! Thank you!

GradyCat, thank you! gabybab, I will call tomorrow! I’m not taking the pain meds as much as I should. Maybe I should and hope it will get better? I’ve always been a tough it out person.

Sleeved on Mon 2/25. This big incision is killing me. It hurts on the inside soooooo bad. I cannot lay on my side at all. Either one. Only on my back. But not too flat. And this is my sixth abdominal surgery. So it’s not like I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve never hurt like this before. I just want to lay on my side!!!
