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!

      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. 🤞
