When do te stitches stop hurting?



Recommended Posts

It's been 11 days to my surgery when do the stitches stop hurting? Three days after surgery the pain wasn't so bad but since last two days the left big incision is hurting again.

Are we supposed to rest most of the day? Cuz I don't

You too huh? I have not stopped to rest since I got home from the hospital. I have so much going on I just can't seem to catch a break. We SHOULD be resting some. I am 19 days out. The staples hurt more because your skin is starting to heal all around them and then one weird turn or reach can make it feel like it's tearing a bit. The large incision area is the most painful though. I'm past the pain and itching like crazy!!! Good luck to u and try to take it easy!!!

At three weeks I started no feeling any pain. Like you I did not sit still and yes when you twist and bend you might feel a little pain. No big deal.

      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?
