Kidnurs 12 Posted April 14, 2019 I am 3 weeks post op gastric bypass. I wanted to see if anyone else is still experiencing extreme soreness in their stomach after surgery. My whole abdomen is so sore almost as if I have been doing sit-ups and it hurts to turn over in bed at night. I had been doing 30 minutes of walking 1 week post op and it was fine. The only things that I have done differently lately was I recently started a soft diet and I also have started back to work. Also can anyone tell me how long it takes until your stomach actually feels normal again without pain?Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thatch 377 Posted April 14, 2019 I had extreme pain that felt like a really bad side stitch for about a month to a month and a half after surgery. I don't know if that's what you're experiencing, but the pain does get better I just had to be gentle with myself. If yours feels like it's getting worse or you notice any redness or swelling around your incisions, call your surgeon's office. Best wishes on healing! 1 Kidnurs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted April 14, 2019 Could be extra stitching put in there for re- enforcement. if it is, it will release at the time you're healed enough, not every surgeon does do that, but many do. Say it helps prevent any internal herniation! 1 Kidnurs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katiebypass 1 Posted April 15, 2019 It was about a month before i started to get full relief. Maybe if you noticed it was related to when you increased to soft food try going back a stage for a couple of days and see if that help. 1 Kidnurs reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
