Did anyone else have a lot of pain in the area of the lower right incision?



Recommended Posts

First of all, I'm not a wimp and have had a lot of surgery over the years. I expected to pop back from this like I did from Lapband and hysterectomy. Of the 5 incisions, 4 do not hurt at all. But my lower right side is killing me! It was getting better but I had some vomiting last night, so now it's killing me again, like it did right after surgery. I'm 5 days post op and still taking pain meds, which is totally not like me. I normally don't even have the pain meds filled at the pharmacy.

That lower right incision is dented in deep, which is weird to me too. Anybody else experience this?

I go back to work on Tuesday.....only took a week off because I'm such a fast healer. Ugh!

I see the surgeon tomorrow for follow up.

Do you have one incision area that hurts a lot more than the others?

Mine is the same one, the lowest right one. The bruise is expanding and it's also indented but that's the one they took your stomach out of and I'm pretty sure they used bigger tools for that. You will be better soon! Mine still hurts, actually it's the only thing that hurts. But it gets easier to get up and down every day

The biggest one hurts the most it's the one are stomach was taken out of. Mine feels better today but was extremely sour first few days. I was sleeved Tuesday.

Mine was the same way, very dented in and always a painful pulling sensation on that one incision, luckily by day 5 as the swelling started going down it wasn't dented in and the pain lessened, now at 9 days post op barely feel it at all mainly only when bending down

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
