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

      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?
