Meliss80 1 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Hey guys, I had procedure 1/19/17. I've done well; however sent home with no pain meds, just tylenol. Again, I've managed BUT my main left surgical incision is wider than others and still having moderate pain. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

pharmD_vsg 99 Posted January 24, 2017 It's totally normal. Mine was hurting when I turned the certain ways. The pain went way after a week or so. It's still a little sore but nothing bad.

tlewis2005 30 Posted January 24, 2017 This was normal for me too. I was sleeved 1-12-17 & had pain on my left incision also my biggest incision up until last night. I noticed when I woke up in the middle of the night last night to turn over I did it with no pain. Yippee! Hang in there!

augustgirl 58 Posted January 24, 2017 Totally normal. My big incision hurt til week 4 post op. The more active do you are each day, it might actually get slightly worse before gets better. But it will get better VSG date: 11/22/16 HW: 225. SW:222. CW: 196 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
janarrt 92 Posted January 24, 2017 Completely normal... I was sleeved on 1/20/17 and the largest incision hurts the most! That's where they pull the part of stomach that has been cut out! So... nothing to worry about! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatgirl03 41 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) My right incision killed me, I had staples. I couldn't even get out of bed without someone helping me. Now that the staples are out (yesterday) I can sleep on my stomach now. Day by day it will get better! Good luck to you Sleeved 01/13 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited January 25, 2017 by Heatgirl03 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIA-70 136 Posted January 25, 2017 Just had my follow up yest, day 18 post op, and i asked my doc about that. He stated the big incision hurts the most bec thats where they cut muscle to get to the stomach n gallbladder - mine was removed.... then it all made perfect sense to me.
