Day 23 post op. Still in pain >.<



Recommended Posts

So I had my sleeve done 10/3 and I thought I was getting better but I'm actually getting worse. I have this sharp sharp pain above the incisions where they remove the stomach. Went to the ER yesterday and they ruled out gallstones and infection. Just wanted to know if anyone else still had pain at this time?

I'm a month post-op tomorrow, and I haven't had any significant pain since the first week. Did you talk to your surgeon?

It's possible that you've got a case of pancreatitis, it does happen sometimes. You'll have to talk to your surgeon to get a real answer, probably some bloodwork - hard to diagnose these problems online.

I had a pulling feeling from the top of the biggest incision which is the one they took my stomach out of...

My surgeon and nurse said its completely normal. Its being caused by the stitch that they put into that muscle. My incision finally stopped hurting around week 4... Walking helped even though it was a bit painful... I am almost 6 weeks out and dont feel it anymore.

At almost exactly a month out I had sudden severe pain- the ER ruled out gall bladder issues. They gave me some IV pain meds & a bunch of Fluid - felt better the next day. I was definitely dehydrated

      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. 🤞
