I had my surgery on 7 Mar 17. A week after surgery I was fine retuned to work and felt good. My 1st day back to work I went home early because I couldn't sit in chair to long so I starting taking half days. Anyway long story short I have not been sticking to those half days(staying all day) and everyday I've come home in so much pain it's unbearable. Now lately I've been having so much pain on left sides where big incision is.. all I can do now is lay down it hurts when I sit on toilet.

Has anyone else had this problem before?

Yep, same exact thing! We must remember our organ was removed from the main in incision location and then it was stitched up. It's always a sting or burning pain for me but as time goes on it will get better!

I would contact the surgeon about it. In general, things should be better, not worse, especially without a specific strain or something. Let us know what they say...

I have my two week follow up Tuesday and I will definitely mention it to my dr, but many people on a forum had the incision discomfort/pain for a few weeks and then it went away. Better to be safe than sorry tho!

I've had my two week follow up and told him about the pain and he said it's to be expected because of the healing of big incision. I'm trying to see my GP next week will definitely let y'all know the outcome.

Thank you guys!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
