Hi,

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I HAVE had another open abdominal surgery - it could possibly be scar tissue but it's still worth talking to your doctor about. There's still a chance you could be developing an infection or something. I know I never felt any pain even if I poked my incision, in fact I still have no feeling at all in a section of my stomach about 2" wide by 4" long (that is to say, you might not feel the pain even if something is starting to go wrong).

Hope you get things resolved quickly and it turns out to be nothing major, and congrats on your surgery!

Even if your Dr is not there, sometimes talking to a nurse can be the reassurance you need.

      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.
