Hi all I'm new to this site I had my sleeve done this past Monday on Sept 08 now 5 days post op I'm having some pain at one of the incision sites the I was told to wear supported underwear like a girdle for support it helps a little. I just wondering if anyone else had this pain and for long does it last.

welcome, welcome and welcome

sorry about the pain you are presently dealing with

"we" are all Smarty Pants here

will give alot of great answers/experiences/support and good suggestions

your doc office told you to wear that supportive stuff, right???

at the end of the day, you should always listen to your doc for his answers, directions/instructions

sounds like a good idea giving you some support where you are hurting - hopefully this will help

i've heard from others, similar situations of pain/problems with incisions - or in general

since you didn't say otherwise.............

rest of your recovery is moving along ok???

able to drink, no gas, other issues???

every day things should improve

hopefully pain will gradually go away

check with the doc if anymore problems

good luck

congrats on being a loser as you become winner

The incision where they pulled out the stomach is the worst pain ever for me. It's terrible. I know it hurts but walking and getting the muscles to move helps in the long run, as well as helping with gas.

My doc gave me a wrap to wear around my torso when I am up and around and it seems to help. Yep, that main incision is definitely the one that smarts!

Invest in a heating pad, I found it very soothing on those days when it hurts.. still use it for the occasional tummy ache . Welcome to the losers bench!!!

Thanx for the advice, I have sleeping with work wrap which have been very comfortable help ease the pain, plus I'm able to move more frequently at night with out feeling anything.
