dvmp61 44 Posted February 23, 2017 Mine was by one of my incisions on my right side. When I went to my first follow-up appointment, I was told that the incision that was bothering me is where they pulled the stomach out. It only lasted for 2-3 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
