  1. Hello Alicia, I am so sorry you are in pain! Have you reached out to your surgical team? I did not have pain after mine just abdominal swelling and am doing really well and am 3 months post op. Mine was also way more invasive than just the wrap. I will say you have to be careful at first when you are chewing etc because yes when you are healing you swell inwards. And things may feel “stuck” on the wrap . I was on liquids for 3 weeks after. You are still fresh post op. Definitely give yourself some space and grace it does take time to heal . Usually most swelling is gone by 6 weeks. If you need to take your pain meds take them. I will say the spasm thing is normal and will go away in time
  2. I am 2 month post op this surgery and doing wonderful!!!!!
  3. I am so excited for you!!!! Mine worked wonders!!!!!!

  5. Hi ! Yes so I am 12 days post op this surgery and i felt instant relief they always say notice a huge difference at 2 weeks post op and at 6 weeks post op you get go come off ppis and all the swelling is down! I had a stricture, my sleeve was sliding up through my diaphragm creating a sliding hiatal hernia and severe severe severe reflux. I have been on 5 different reflux meds and was taking 120 mg a day plus pepcid twice a day . Also was npo for ten weeks from aspirating on stomach acid and not able to keep anything down not even fluids . Was on tpn via picc line and a feeding tube . So it was pretty bad . But this surgery saved my life!
  6. I know this is a year plus after the original post but I have had the ligament wrap done . It is amazing!
