The incision on your left side is usually the biggest one, where they put in the camera. Barring any other complications, the pain there is typical, and mine lasted about 3 weeks before it was completely gone.

When you cough, try covering your stomach with a pillow and holding onto it for support.

Of course, I'm no doctor, and since you had complications, you may want to just put a call into your doc's office to be sure.

Stay mobile and drink Water, crystal light or diet Snapple. The pain will soon dissipate and you will soon have the sweet taste of weight loss. There is nothing like it. Best of luck

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
