    May 2022 surgery?

    That actually makes sense. The nurse just said oh that’s normal and things are healing internally. I was like hmm…okay, but I didn’t think she understood how painful it was. Today was better. I’m optimistic it’ll continue to improve and feel normal again soon. Thank you!

    May 2022 surgery?

    Hi. Thank you for responding. I had pain right after surgery but only for the first 3 days and it was tolerable with a muscle relaxer and Tylenol. I didn’t have the burning sensation until this week. It was better today and less intense. Appreciate you and wishing you a healthy recovery!

    May 2022 surgery?

    Hi. Newby here. Post surgery (May 4) gastric sleeve. I’m on soft foods this week and the first day eating something I could actually chew was HEAVEN. Well, it was a couple ounces of tuna, but it felt wonderful. Up to a few days ago I was not experiencing complications, but then I started having sharp burning pains near my left incisions. It was only when I stand from sitting or bend. Now it’s more frequent and more intense. It really hurts, but the nurse says it’s a sign of internal healing and should subside in a few weeks. It feels like the opposite. More like the stitches are ripping and the burn is excruciating at times. I’ve tried wearing a binder to hold in my belly thinking the extra weight is pulling the incision, but the touch of the material seems to intensify the burning sensation. Anyone else experiencing/experienced this? Did it eventually go away? Hearing that will give me hope.
