Pain in the right side?

[yolo1981 2]

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on 12/16 and have been doing fairly well but when I start walking my right lower muscle aches. I know its where the stomach came out but is this normal? I want to get on the treadmill

Well, your stomach probably came out on the left side of your abdomen (fyi). However, you had several incisions and all of them went through muscles. You are healing and the pain is normal as those muscles heal. I was sore while walking for at least 3 weeks. My jiggly belly aggravated it.

I was gonna ask this same question! Y'all have any idea how long it takes before the steri strips come off and the incisions are healed?

It takes about a week for the strips to fall off. The openings for me were well healed over, but still angry red. Bits of dissolving sutures were sticking out. Don't pull those....

I was sleeved 12/16 too --- I feel ok, but tire easily. My steri strips haven't fallen off yet either.

I was done on 12:17. My incisions are glued shut. A couple of them have their glue strips starting to peel up on a couple sides. Each of them are pretty tender to the touch and very sensitive to stretching, pulling, twisting etc.

The one on my right is the largest and most painful. I believe this is where the stomach was removed. It hurts more when I over exert myself. At least that's my perception. But each of them still hurt pretty regularly regardless.
