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

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
