Internal stitches pain



Recommended Posts

I was told that around day 14 or 15 the internal stitches that were placed would tear internally and that I may feel it or I may not. Well I feel it!! Really weird sensation and super uncomfortable... Every time I move it is worse..... I haven't had pain Meds since day 4 but I took some today.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did it just last a day?

I have been feeling a kind of burning pain whenever I stand or turn when lying or sitting down. I dont feel it when I'm walking unless I stretch.

It has scared the crap outta me.

Hey Jennna! Luckily the pain only lasted about 48 hrs, I am feeling better now! Hope you start feeling better too!

Hey, I started having some pain in the area where the largest incision was too. I noticed it when laying down and when I changed positions in bed. It's not excruciating, it just feels like a bit of discomfort. I thought it was just my abs sore from some fun time with the Mrs., but its lingered for the past 2 days. At what point is this an actual problem?

I would say as long as it is bearable pain you are okay. It may also be your internal stitches but it may just be sore! It shouldn't last more than 72 hrs if it's the stitches, but if it becomes to bothersome I would give your doc a call.

I had it -- in my case it lasted about 5 days because I overdid it one day. I had to take the pain meds then too. But they dissolved and it went away.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
