Soreness worse 9 days out?

[gemigirl 134]

Sleeved on 9/19 and today my stomach and incisions feel much more sore than they have. Enough that it hurts to take a deep breath. It feels very bruised. I haven't needed and oxycodone and don't want to start now - anyone else have this experience?

I am going for my post-op appointment today.

Bring it up at your post op appointment. It could just be that any nerves that were cut/damaged during surgery are regenerating

My surgery was the same day and my incision is still really sore, but I don't know that it's gotten worse. I saw my surgeon yesterday and they didn't seem concerned, so long as it isn't swollen or red in a circle around it.

I was sleeved on 09/19 and my stomach is still sore but its not getting worse. It feels better each day. I definitely agree that you should talk to your surgeon at your post op appointment about it. I also agree that it is probably from one of the deep stitches. I know I have this constant pulling feeling from one of my incisions when I walk and according to my nurse, its completely normal.

It was my drain - finally got it removed (and staples) and I feel GREAT. They said all incisions looked great. Phew!

Staples? Did you have an open procedure, or laparoscopic? I had lap-robotic and all I have is 5 small incisions, held together with steri-strips. So far, so good; 12 days post-op and the tape has fallen off two of the incisions, and they look find.

I had laproscopic sleeve and have 7 small incisions, which until today were stapled together - now they're steri-stripped.
