happytobehere 23 Posted December 18, 2012 I am down 53 lbs!! Which is great but for about 3 weeks or so, if I stand too long, my sleeve hurts. I mean really hurts. But only when I stand for long periods of time. Has anyone else had this issue? Of course, I still feel that my stomach is swollen and probably will be for a while. Any ideas?

KarissaKhaos 170 Posted December 18, 2012 I felt like that for about 3 months after surgery. If you think about it you're losing so much weight that muscle mass is disappearing too so your abdominal muscles are a little weaker. My surgeon told me it's either that or the scar tissue. By the way 53lbs is awesome! Congratulations! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
