Hi everyone. I was sleeved this week and besides gas pain I am having horrible pain in one of my incision sites. I can't get up or move with out holding the spot in. It is so uncomfortable I feel like it is going to pop out. Has anyone else had an issue like this with one of their spots?

I would agree and say ask your doc, because that's never a bad idea. However, I had my surgery March 28 also. There is one incision, the one next to my belly button that is swollen and sore. The rest are fine. From what I heard that's where the stomach was taken out, so it's likely to give you more pain then the rest.

I had an awful lot of pain in one of the incision sites. It was the incision that they pulled part of the stomach out of, and probably the incision that they inserted all of the tools, etc. I also had quite a bit of bruising around that one very painful incision.

Day 4 post op for me was my worst day. I can remember thinking why did I do this, the pain was that bad. But then on day 5, I felt a little better... but that one incision still hurt awfully bad. I actually hurt for a couple of weeks and did take my pain Syrup everyday for that two weeks.

Thankfully, I did not have any gas pains at all. I have read that most people have to deal with that unfortunately.

If you are still in a lot of pain tomorrow, it is always best to give your doctor's office a call and let them know. It's always best to be on the safe side.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you all. It is the incision next to my belly button so maybe that is why. If it is still bad I'll call tomorrow.[emoji4]

      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. 🤞
