MowryRocks 679 Posted November 22, 2016 All of my incisional pain was tolerable. Only took pain meds once at home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armygalbonnie 643 Posted November 22, 2016 The incisions don't hurt but I do hurt inside, below the lowest right incision. As my activity level increases, I am getting more frequent and sharp pains. Sometimes it feels like someone is cinching up a corset. I also get spasms in that area. I am 3 weeks post op. The pain has been the worse the past 2 days. I walk often and I'm on my feet at work about 50% of the time. It's just part of the healing. It's tolerable but uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Armygalbonnie 643 Posted November 23, 2016 80% of your stomach will be removed and their is trauma. It is secured with 3 rows of staples. The area that is sore is where the stomach was removed and there is a very deep internal stitch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nannare 38 Posted November 23, 2016 Mine was not bad at all. I only took pain meds at night for the first 4 nights, then the only problem was the itching during the healing period. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penhook 12 Posted November 23, 2016 I took pain meds twice. . The night I got home from hospital n the next day. That was one of the things I was really worried about - needlessly ! Sent from my SM-S765C using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brandeis 401 Posted November 23, 2016 I think a lot of the pain is from the incisions, but not from the cuts -- the problem is that the doctors stab you through the muscles of your stomach, and as a result you have a lot of muscle damage. The "internal" pain, imo, comes from this. It aches when you bend/twist, since it pulls at muscles that are still working on healing. For me, incision pain is the worst pain, in this regard. I can't sleep more than ~4 hours in a night without having to adjust position due to the ache. But it's not a stabbing pain, just a lingering, dull throb.

blizair09 3,250 Posted November 23, 2016 I never really had any pain with the incisions; however, at about 6 weeks post-op, the incision inside my belly button began to ooze this clear Fluid mixed with blood. I ended up having to take an antibiotic for a week, and it cleared right up, and now it is back to smooth sailing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
