Sleeves, I think this is normal. I am getting sleeved on July the 28th. My last preop appointment, the doctor told me to expect a "pulling" at the site they take the stomach out of. As a clinician myself, if you have no sings and symptoms infection, you should be fine.

I felt the same thing. Couldn't lay on my side for awhile it felt like it was pulling inside. Then one day I folded half a bakery of laundry that was on the floor in front of me on the couch. The use of muscles from bending over, I was sore for about 2 weeks after, so be mindful of what you're doing. After that I'd sit on the side of my bed with the laundry basket next you me.

      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.
