the bottom right incision is where my surgeon pulled the stomach through. They to.d us before surgery that incision would be the most painful. I am 4 weeks out as of today and mine is still a little sore at times.

I am one week and a day post surgery and my right incision just suddenly bruised up more and is hiring also. But I believe my doctor said they were pulling the excess from the left incision next to the drain. But at least I know other people are feeling the same so that's conforting.

My biggest incision (out of four) was tender for a couple of weeks. The smaller ones did not bother me at all.

Thanks guys....I also have to take into consideration that I have had a Tummy Tuck in the past, which also tightens muscles in that area.....along with 2 other surgeries around that area...I think I may have been doing too much around the house...I'm home from work and bored!

Agreed. i am going on 4 weeks post op and that incision hurts me as well. I know for sure that I am doing too much around here and need to slow it down some, lol.

I am a week out from surgery. They said the right side would be the most bothersome. That is the side that they take the stomach out through. Just ice, ice, ice. It helps!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
