Hello all, I am 8 days post op vsg surgery. I'm still in quite a bit of pain when I stand up and walk around. It feels like my insides are ripping/burning near my larger incision site. Everything else is fine, my other incisions are healing well, and so is this one. But it hurts to stand and walk around, the only relief I get is if I push up on the bottom of my stomach there. Has anyone else had this problem?

It's where they pulled your stomach out through and likely a little muscle and nerve soreness, but if it doesn't improve past another week then get it checked. Maybe wear a support garment and see if that helps.

Yes!!!! It last about 3 weeks. Then it starts to slowly stop hurting. I was in the same shoes. I freaked out and called my dr. The nurses said it was normal. There is one big stitch they do on your right side. It will pass. I promise!!!!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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...

        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.
