2 weeks post op still sore



Recommended Posts

Is this normal my tummy is still sore espically on my right side. I don't notice it as much until I go to stand up or roll over. Not sure if I'm just looking for problems due to major complications with the band, so just checking to see if I'm being a baby or if it is normal. Thanks

I agree with chardgrl I am still slightly sore on my right side as well...Each day is better than the day before.

It took me almost exactly four weeks for the soreness to go away. Once that internal stitch dissolved everything felt better immediately.

I'm 2 weeks today and still sore, mostly on my left side. Now I'm curious as to how many people had their tummy removed from the right versus left side???

I had mine taken out on the left as well - thanks for asking this question though as it's been something I've been wondering about too since there seems to be a mix of both sides ;)

Mine came out through my belly button incision. Oh yeah it is numb and sore at the same time.

Belly button incision is about an inch bigger than all the rest.

There are two surgeons at the hospital where I was sleeved. One takes it out on the right the other on the left. Mine was on the right, I was sore for about 6 weeks. I'm 14 weeks out today and down 80 lbs and feeling great.

How do you know where it was taken out? Just the larger incision? My largest was like an inch and that was in the middle, the rest are a half inch or less

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
