I had my sleeve done on March 27 and have done really well , but I am still having quiet a bit of pain from the largest incision that I have. It actually doesn't seem to feel any better, if anything it hurts worse. Feels like it is pulling and pretty sore. Has anyone else had this issue?

I don't know whether to call my doctor or if this is normal!!

The largest incision hurt for a while. It did not get worse but if I moved the wrong way it felt like I was being stabbed. Any redness or itching? I would call your doc regardless just to be safe.

No it looks really good! I have been up and down a lot more today than the past few days. It does feel like someone is stabbing me. Could it be the stitches on the inside pulling or desolving?

I was sleeved on the 25th and had the exact thing two days ago. It's much better today and I'd forgotten about it until you said something. Don't stress unless they've changed from the normal incisions. :)

Thank you!!! I was getting nervous!!

So how are you doing with your sleeve? I still feel kinda hungry at times. I am just on Clear liquids still but go to dr on Thursday so hopefully he will add something!!

It is just a deep incision that will take time to heal. The big one bothered me for about a month. From bad to just an annoyance until it went away. Good Luck!!

I'm doing fantastic! Yesterday I was so hungry, so I ate until satisfied many times (only like a tablespoon fills me up right now), but lost another 2 pounds this morning! I feel mostly normal, really. I sleep well, eat when hungry, and pretty much do what I was told. I'm down 15.2 pounds this week. Full liquids started for me on day 3, and continue until next Saturday. I'm glad to be going back to work in the morning so I'll stay busy!

Hope you do well!

I was the 26th and mine has a drain. It's really awful and hard to hide. If I didn't have it I feel as though I would be in s different place activity wise. Riding in a car is so uncomfortable and so is any bending. On top of that its clogged and its draining through the wound mostly anyway...very messy. I get it out in 2 days yay! I've been inside since I got home and I can't wait to feel normal!! Be lucky you gave no drain!!

I have the same pain. When you turn the wrong way...bam, it's like you are being stabbed! I went to see my doc about it and it's normal she says. It takes some people longer than others to recover. I just can't wait til it goes away so that maybe I can start sleeping on my stomach again!

She did recommend that I continue wearing the compression garment to provide support. It does help me...I had surgery 3/12 by the way :)

Wear a binder or some sort of support so that it doesn't hurt when you move around I wore a support cami that worked perfectly

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
