Pain above incision??



Recommended Posts

I am currently 13 days post op RNY... my incision pain was practically gone a few days ago... but yesterday and today it's back! Today I noticed, because I actually looked at my biggest incision, the the pain is coming from internally, about 1-2 inches above that incision. Has anyone else experienced this? Is this normal? How long did your pain last?? I have my 2 week follow up coming up but wanted to ask for other peoples experiences.

My pain was around for less than a week. About six days. It might be gone again by tomorrow. Healing varies from person to person. I heal fast so it didn't take long for my pain to go away and finally stand up straight again. I heard somewhere that the incision pain usually lasts around two weeks.

But again it varies from person to person and depends on the many factors out there. It's normal to have pain there but your doctor would know for sure.

Is the pain on your right side? I am just 3 days post op and my pain in that spot is definitely the worst. I was told that the incision goes deeper in that spot... that the camera is inserted there and lots of instruments go in and out at that site so it is expected that it would be more painful and take a little longer to heal. Hope that helps.

I did experience the exact same thing. I could even feel a little lump. I was told, it was a collection on blood which is common post op. In time it will subside. What i did what exchange hot and cold packs on that area. Within a week or so, the pain and lump went away.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
