pain while sitting



Recommended Posts

Just wondering....how long before you can sit upright without feeling tight/pain/nausea? I feel better walking or lying down. If I sit up to long,

bent in the middle, my chest and stomach feels so cramped. I'm supposed to go back to work this Friday.

Yep, I was banded on Feb 5th, this week is the first week I am not misreable. I am sore, but at least no pain. Don't rush back to work like I did. I probably made matters worse. I was not good at listening to my body. Take care, Kim

but take pain med with you--cut it in half or quarters--also be sure to get up from your seat at work OFTEN--if you sit a real long time--as you say--it hurts.

you won't be happy at work right away (i wasn't), but eventually you will feel fine!!

good luck,

I am finding I hurt sitting also. I was banded just last week, the 17th and went back to work the 24th. I work in an office and sit for 8 hours. Sometimes I have pain, which I assumed was trapped gas, but perhaps it is the sitting.

      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.
