Incision Pain My Top Left side



Recommended Posts

Anyone know why I would still be having incision pain on my top left incision?? I'm 4 days post op and my other incisions don't hurt when I sit up but this one still hurts really bad?.!?!

Any thoughts??

I am 11 days out and mine still aches. I think my area underneath the sutures ( not the sutures itself) may be tender. I mean I used to have a big cushiony stomach to shield my spleen and pancreas. Now, They can only hide behind a smaller one. Mine hurths more when I lay down too. On May 16th I go back to my surgeon, so if it still hurts by then I will ask what is going on in that area.

Mine hurt off and on. Just take it easy and watch for sign of infection. I found mine was to doing too much. I didn't feel my best until about day 10. It gets better ev ery day

I'm 10 weeks out and my incision on the top right side was sore for about 5 weeks . My surgeon told me this is the largest incision and where my stomach was removed. His partner takes it out on the left side this may be why your sore. You should ask your surgeon.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
