I had my sleeve done on June 18th and have been doing pretty well pain wise. However, lately I have had a little pain on the sides as well as my belly button which is my largest incision. I don't go back to my doctor for two months so I am unsure of what to do. Is this normal? I started back at work today and am pretty tired. I nanny part time while I go to school (but am out for the summer) so I'm basically just doing household chores, laundry, cooking dinner, etc. I am scared to keep bending if it's hurting me. Anyone have pain three weeks after surgery?

I also hurt it was like stabbing pains they where short and sharp!! They finally stopped around 8/9 weeks out. I think it was the skin growing over my stitches or my wound heeling from the inside.

Yes that's kind if what it's like. I have been sleeping on my side for about a week so I am going to try and stop and see if it's gets better. I may end up just calling my doctor to double check. I am such a worry wort and always dwell on the worst possible outcome!

      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.
