How long did your incision pain last?



Recommended Posts

I’m having the common pain I read so much about at the incision next to my bellybutton. How long did this last for you?

I think you'll get a variety of answers here. I had almost no pain at my incisions. Good luck to you, though!

I didnt have pain at first, but at 10 days I developed sharp pain at the main incision site. It felt like there was an embedded knife, and it hurt when I moved. That pain went away after about a week, as suddenly as it came.

I’m three weeks out and I still have sharp burning pain in my left side. I still can’t bend over or reach down and sitting in a chair or in the car is still uncomfortable. For the first 8days the pain was awful that it hurt just to sit on the toilet and I had to have someone pull up my pants. I don’t have the excruciating pain as much anymore, but I still have trouble getting comfortable in bed.

Most of the pain/discomfort was gone the first week, though there’s still mild tenderness at two weeks on the larger incisions.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
