Pain when I lay down/get up from bed



Recommended Posts

Hey guys. Im 11 days post-op amd when I lay myself down for bed or get up from bed it feels like all the insides in my stomach are shifting and it hurts. Anyone else feeling this? When does it go away?

I'm 19 days out and still have sight pain. I just found out I'm having a reaction to the internal sutures used. The last surgery I had this same thing happened and it took 8 weeks for the pain to go away!

Not sure it's the same but perhaps!

Like an allergic reaction? If so, do you know wha they were made of that you're reacting to? I ask because I have some contact allergies & this possibility worries me!

To OP -- I've read that several people have really liked having and abdominal binder post-op, just to give some support to the belly. Maybe that would help?

I had the same kind of pain. When I would lay down sideways it was like a stretching feeling. It felt like extreme muscle pain. I wouldn't do any heavy lifting or anything like that...even light lifting for that matter. It did get better probably two weeks post op...I'm 3.5 weeks now.

I was told they were made of PDS material. I also have contact allergies with tapes and adhesives but only on my tummy it seems. I don't know much about this really other then my surgeon said I 'maybe having a reaction to the inside sutures'. Sorry I'm not much more help :(

My doc said it was from the stitches through the muscles. It does go away

I was sleeved on the 19th and was doing really well until yesterday. Now I'm having severe pain near an incision. I asked the DR about it on Monday and like the previous poster said its from sewing through all the layers of tissue including the muscle. When will it stop?? It hurts so bad I can't even stand up. I dug out the abdominal binder I had from my hysterectomy and that helps some. Any other advice?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
