Pain at incision site



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks post-op from sleeve and on Thursday started having extreme pain at main incision site. If I bend in that direction pain is so bad brings tears. Doesn't feel like the gas I had prior. Can't sleep, can't get comfortable. Pain when I go to sit down or get up. Going to Dr tomorrow for follow up but has anyone else experienced this? Can't even bend over to put on shoes.

I have...my dr said that it's normal to have a discomfort...not extreme pain tho...it the area they pulled out ur stomach that's why the incision is bigger then the rest. Good luck at the dr hoping all is well. Vsg 10/13

Good luck. Hope everything goes ok. I've been feeling more pain in thar area too. And feeling really sore like i did a bunch of crunches. I hate to admit it but i haven't done any of those in years. Not since i got a bad cramp from trying to do them lol. But this is almost worrying me because i was fine and then i woke up in pain. Like..wth?

      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. 🤞
