Thank you all so much for your responses!! You truly have no idea what the support has done for me. Still really struggling, but taking it one day at a time. I'm also holding the area while getting up and walking. I feel as though sitting and, or laying is not the answer. I've been through pain and by far this has been one of my biggest struggles; however, I will prevail. Especially with all the help from this site...it's been my saving grace. Thank you all again!!

Hey everyone, I posted a few days ago on this same topic, but my issue has gotten worse. Surgery date 1/19/17. Incision sites externally all healing fine. Thy could not look any better. They're itching and on the road to recovery. I'm having no complications aside from internal pain near upper left incision site. It's an unbearable burning and pulling sensation. I've spoken to the doctors at length. They say it's normal. You're only a week post-op. I've had two children and numerous kidney stones. This is up there!! I'm fine if laying or sitting back. To get up and walk or even go to the bathroom I'm holding my abdomen in agony. Also I was prescribed zero pain meds aside from Tylenol. Is that normal? I just needed to vent. I've been on the internet searching for answers, relief, just something to get through. I never expected this agony. I've had laparoscopic gall bladder surgery and did very well. I'm just so confused. Anyone going through or went through this? If so, how long did it last? Did anything provide relief? Much love, Melissa. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys, I had procedure 1/19/17. I've done well; however sent home with no pain meds, just tylenol. Again, I've managed BUT my main left surgical incision is wider than others and still having moderate pain. Is this normal? Should I be concerned? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
