djnkidz 12 Posted June 10, 2013 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.

anniemay 150 Posted June 10, 2013 It took me almost exactly four weeks for the soreness to go away. Once that internal stitch dissolved everything felt better immediately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ah0505 42 Posted June 10, 2013 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??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe I 180 Posted June 10, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
******** 397 Posted June 10, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
