I had mine June 17th. It’s been almost 4 weeks. Eating, staying hydrated have been going well with no major issues. However, I have a terrible burning/stabbing pain internally between two stitches on my right side. My surgeon says it’s normal, it’s excruciating at times. I’ve been wearing an abdominal binder to work which has been helping to function as normally as possible. Sleep is rough because of this pain, every movement is sharp and wakes me up. I’m ready for this part to be over. I’m at the point where mentally I’m feeling regret but I know it’s because of the pain.
