I was sleeved on Monday June 2nd. I only have 3 incisions. Two in my upper stomach and one in my belly button. Is it normal to only have 3? I thought there would be more. The incision in my belly button hurts the most and I am hoping my belly button recovers and goes back to normal. Because boy does it look funky now.. lol How long did the incision pain last? Especially the belly button one? when I walk and it hangs down it hurts quiet a bit. I'm just curious on when things should start looking up!!

Ask for or obtain an abdominal binder

This will help take the pressure of gravity pulling at your belly and causing discomfort

The first week after is the worst and then it gradually

Gets better and better

Which ever incision hurts the most usually left lower

Is where they removed your stomach so that one will obviously hurt longer

The incisions are going to look funky until the scab covered with steri strip falls off

Believe it or not the dried blood and scab is what makes it look so bad but once that falls off

It will look much better

Good luck Hun ;)
