When do your incisions stop hurting? I was sleeved on 9/4. Most of my incisions are find but the bottom 2 hurt. Especially the one that they took my stomach out of. That one is also indented which bothers me, but others have said that it goes back to normal.

I was sleeved on 26 June and was about 4 weeks until I was pain free, although the port site that the stomach was pulled out of was still just slightly sore. All good now coming up to 3 months post op.

Itch and pain receptors are the same. Itch is a less intense version of pain. Healing is underway...unless it it accompanied by redness swelling and drainage...that's infection

Maybe try massaging Vitamin E cream or oil.

I was sleeved on 8/29. My indention is almost gone. My port side is still really sore. Actually taking 800 of ibuprofen every 8 hours to help. Can't wait for this pain to go away for good.

Mine only hurt when I twisted wrong or laid on the wrong. The pain ended at about 2-3weeks, and at about 6 weeks I couldn't even feel it anymore.

I had the single incision and that baby itches!! Since its at my belly button and in a moist spot, it's taking a while to heal. I still have some bloody drainage, but he nurse said it looks good. As long as redness isn't radiating from it and it's not overly warm or draining the yellow or green, it's ok. Itchy itchy itchy though! I'm not allowed to put anything on it, no lotions. Gotta keep it clean and dry.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
