Pain at my incision site. . .



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Tuesday morning. Spent the night in the hospital and was discharged on Wed at noon. I'm getting around pretty well but one of my incision sites hurts more then the rest. The smaller ones towards my sides don't really hurt at all. The larger one that is right in the middle below my breast really hurts. If I touch it is seems to be hard and it seems to pull if I stand up straight. Is this normal? I am assuming this is where the band is. I think I can feel it and trace it all the way to my right side where the port is. Just wondering if this is normal???

I'm assuming thats where your port is. Mine hurt for a little more than a week. I had my surgery on May 27th and it only itches a little now.

I;m also thinking it's the port site. Mine still hurts and I'm 8 days out when I breathe too hard, adjust myself wrong it all hurts. I'm still on pain meds so it helps alot. I does get better. Just hang in there!!!!:thumbup:

Yuppers! That is where your port is! I am 6mo out and every once in a while it still pulls and will send a little shock to me. It will get better. it may always feel "hard" though...esp. when you lose more cause you will feel the port more easily. Just take it easy and don't over do it for now because the port is stitched in place and don't want to rip your stitches! Take care :thumbup:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
