Hey Amanda2014 I just saw my doctor for the same thing. He told that it is common for that area to be sore because that's where they pull the stomach out. He told me they do put in sutures in that area and those can sometimes stretch, causing the soreness. As long as you don't have any symptoms you should be ok. But it never hurts to check with your doctor.
Well my surgery was a success, but I did spend 3 nights in the hospital instead of 1. For vomiting turns out my stomach was more swollen then what the Doctor expected. So I had to take even smaller sips of water. Other than that I'm doing just fine and adjusting well.
Today is the Day! I'm getting myself ready to head to the hospital for my surgery! So excited! Best of Luck to everyone that is having theirs done today also.
Congratulations kgregory! I also am scheduled for May 12th! I am excited and nervous. I have my pre-op appointments this morning with the Nurse and Anesthesiologist.
