I am in my third week post op and I am wondering if it is normal for my left incision to be still extremely painful. I know that it is the one they removed my stomach from and there are stitches on the inside muscle. I mean on a scale of 0-10. This is probably an 8 (pain wise) My incisions are all healed, good color.

I would call my doc about pain at 8/10 and 3 weeks out just to make sure this is normal, just in case it's not. Be on the safe side and check with them.

I am 3 weeks post op. I have no pain and I had a band removed and converted to a sleeve. My incisions are itchy at times. I think you should call your surgeons office and tell them whats going on.

My incisions pain was actually quite low for the most part, ( 2wks post op) but weird thing, yesterday I put on a real pair of jeans to go to the grocery store and when I changed that night, my incision tapes were all lose and had pulled off for the most part. Today I have this one little spot that really hurts and it wont' go away, almost feels like a lump underneath. Has this happened to anyone?

I do have a small one that feels like a lump underneath. I think it might be internal sutures.

I'm having the same issue. I was told that I probably stretched one of the stitches and once the stitches pop that I will feel better. Inpatiently awaiting that day

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
