Sore, burning pain



Recommended Posts

I'm just about 4 weeks post op and I'm still feeling sore and some slight burning pain behind my large incision. Is anyone else still sore this far out? Maybe I'm just being paranoid

@@100lbs2g0 Never hesitate to call your surgeon to be sure it's not serious. It is most likely normal healing pains and nerve pain as that's where they usually remove your stomach - but don't take anyone's word for it other than a medical professional. Hope you feel better soon!

I was sleeved aug. 29th 2016 and just until about 3 days ago my large incision was still sore and is still tender but no burning.

I am still preop, BUT, 18 months later my cesarean section scar still burns from time to time, as well as other sensations(and this weird 2 inch space under my belly button hip to hip from being obese and pregnant and everything settling back in to much different spaces) . Doc said it's normal. I have nerves that heal VERY slowly. The edge of my tongue is still partially asleep from wisdom teeth removal 7 years ago. It was totally numb, and it's slowly almost back to life. My brother is the same way (but with many, many more surgeries ).

I was sleeved in August 23rd and have had mild to moderate pain and soreness. Then yesterday it started to REALLY hurt again. In fact, I even took a Percocet this morning that I had leftover from the surgery. I'm a bit surprised by this, but I was just with my surgeon yesterday (for a surprise ulcer...grr) and she said soreness and some pain is still expected at this point.

August 17th for me, and I was still sore around the 4 week mark. On Thursday of this past week, it just seemed like the pain went away. I didn't have to use my abdominal binder since Thursday! But call your surgeon when in doubt!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
