100lbs2g0 14 Posted September 23, 2016 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 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristenLe 5,979 Posted September 23, 2016 @@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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'm just being paranoid Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App 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.

sey1008 43 Posted September 23, 2016 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 ).

Leather'nLace 187 Posted September 23, 2016 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.

Anabean 21 Posted September 25, 2016 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
