Hello so I am new to the sleeve. Im kn day three. I was looking at my incisions because they're are so incredibly painful I can't even get up on my own...and I noticed I have two incisions in my belly button as well as the other 4 around my abdomen. Wondering if anyone else had this. It hurts so much anytime I do anything.

I’m a week out from surgery, and although my biggest incision is above my belly button, I’m not in any pain... my belly is just sore. Other people can jump in with their experiences, but I think the pain you’re experiencing is unusual and probably worth a call to your surgeon. Good luck!

I’ve 5.5 weeks out now and my incisions have healed up, but I also had two larger incisions (mine were above the belly button) and four small ones around my belly.

I had 5. This was later in the day on the day of my surgery (9/16). No pain except for a few times when I overdid it walking / moving around.IMG_20200916_181118.jpg

I never looked in my belly button (mine is very deep and sensitive such that I don't let ANYONE touch it and I didn't want to know!!) but they made me clean it so I figured they did something there. I think three days, my incisions were still painful, but shortly after, I was fine. I would give it another day...and then call my surgeon.

I still had incision pain two weeks post. After mentioning this during my post op visit, my surgeon said it was just the muscles healing and suggested I wear a binder. I started wearing one the same day. Woke up four days later and no pain. Exactly what he said would happen.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
