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 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.
