tangerinetrees 3 Posted August 23, 2014 Hi guys, I was sleeved July 28th and all of my incisions have healed nicely. I still have quite a bit of pain in my right incision where they pulled my stomach out. It's like a burning pain around the incision site. The only thing that helps is wearing a compression garment to support the site, but by the end of the day, even that doesn't help. Anybody else experience pain like this so long postop? I'm frustrated, because I feel like I have the energy to do more, but the pain keeps me from doing it. I have my 1 month follow up with surgeon next week.

Mrs.SkinnyMoM 1 Posted August 25, 2014 I was sleeved on July 26th... I have no pain. I feel if you're a bigger person though, the tools have to go deeper and do more damage. This is my experience in the years I've been a nurse. I had a low BMI, started at 208, and down to 181. I have lost 27lbs in 4 weeks. I don't have a lot of energy like you say you do, but relatively no pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rose310 7 Posted August 25, 2014 I am one month out as well and am experiencing pain in two of my incisions. I also feel like I have the energy but have yet to become active out of fear of over exerting myself. A simple trip to the store makes them hurt more. I am not a "Big" person so can debunk bigger people experience more pain theory. I started out at 220 and have lost 26lbs so far. I am hoping the pain stops soon because I can't return to work til it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs.SkinnyMoM 1 Posted August 25, 2014 Maybe they were just rough with you... Is this your first surgery? Have you ever had surgery before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rose310 7 Posted August 26, 2014 I have had a few surgeries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tangerinetrees 3 Posted August 26, 2014 Strangest thing happened. I got up from a chair 2 days ago and sort of stretched when I did and right where the pain was, there was this popping sensation and since then, no pain whatsoever. I am thinking some muscle fibers were growing together incorrectly and causing the muscles to pull or pinching a nerve or something and when I stretched, they finally broke. Whatever happened, I'm sure glad it did. I felt great all day yesterday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
