The incision where they took my stomach out of, just above it really hurt. I noticed it getting out of my Jeep. Called the doctor's office, they thought I had pulled a muscle. A week later I went in to see my surgeon and check it out and told me he had place a stitch there and it looks like I tore it, but there were other stiches, so I should be fine. Told me to take Alieve (big no no after bariatric surgery) to help with the pain. Plus I got an abdominal binder. I'm off the Alieve and it seems to be almost healed (doesn't hurt like it did) -

So happy to see my name on the list @Ylime I have my silver fork and now my golden keys. Just an update: I'm 4 weeks post op and feeling great. Had some bumps in the road but I'm pushing forward. The torn internal stitch seems to be healing, still a little sore BUT I'm sleeping in my bed!!! I'm on soft foods until end of August. It's going good. Amazing how small my serving size is and it's true, the tummy has a mind of its own and will let you know. One little thing, one of my incisions isn't healing so keeping an eye on that. I've also got that glorious stall (sarcasm is dripping) Honestly don't know what causes this, but on the plus side I'm still losing inches. On a final note I just celebrated my 50th birthday on July 30th. I was so good! Stayed true to myself and the new me!! Good luck to those with upcoming surgeries. -

I have one incision that's very red. I'm just over 4 weeks post op. I called doctors office and they suggested warm compresses. Don't know if that'll help the itches but seems to be helping my situation. Good luck -

I'm with you on this. I'm trying to stay positive as well. I have notice that I'm still losing inches, but nothing on the scale. So I'm trying to stay positive in that respect. -

I'm also a side sleeper and ended up sleeping in my recliner for almost 3 weeks. I did get a wedge pillow, that help sleeping in bed, but still laying on my back. It'll soon pass. I'm sleeping comfortably now (24 days post op)., -

Update: 23 days post op. Life is almost back to normal. Still a little pain where I pulled a stitch but tolerable. Still in my stall, BUT inches are still coming off!!! So big advice, measure yourself because when you hit the stall (according to the scale) you're body is still working and may be inches going away or muscle building. Just trying not to be discouraged because this is a lifestyle change! Plus, not hungry and my food portions are so small it actually amazes me that I'm actually able to live on this. I also notice how much food governs our day to day activities and having to plan ahead when I go out (ex went to a Renaissance Faire and packed my bag of goodies. Looked at Faire foods, nothing I could eat (not paying $10 for a turkey leg that I'm only getting a bite out of) so ate what I brought). Also, sleeping in bed, finally!!! -

I actually brought my own stash of gas x to the hospital. Did ask permission from doc to take them, which he encourage, plus lots of walking. Congratulations to all those that have had surgeries. Here's to a speedy recovery!! -

Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion
sdcheesehead replied to Ylime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all, I'm 18 days post op. Had my 2 week post op appointment and they're so happy with my progress. Lost 20 lbs and on soft foods for next 6 weeks. Been walking a lot which I think has help. Finding myself with more energy. Did have one issue, where I thought I had pulled a muscle getting out of car, but found out it was an internal stitch. It's getting better though. Abdominal Binders are amazing!!! Think I've hit that wonderful stall, which is ok. Let's my body adjust to the traumatic differences I put it through. I'm off one of my insulin (Humalog) and only taking 17 units of Lantus ( down from 110). A1C down from 7.6 to 6.7 in two months. I'm so very pleased with that. -

I had the some thing. I actually thought I pulledng a muscle, according to the nurse I talked to. Went in for my two week post op with surgeon and he said I pulled an internal stitch. He actually told me to take Alieve for the pain (big no no in post op world)) but working. Good luck and hope you get relief soon.
