For everyone that can feel it, is it bothersome?

I can feel mine at the incision and I'm convinced I can feel more "plastic" toward the center where abs might be someday haha. It's not bothersome, though some higher waisted pants were uncomfortable when healing (they rested on the port site) and sometimes after a fill it's a little sore to the touch. Otherwise, it's totally fine!

I can feel mine more and more. At first it was awfully tender in that area and I was constatly rubbing it (which of course, made the soreness worse). SO, I used to refer to it as my gunshot wound. But now, i only feel it if I touch it. No soreness at all.

My doctor pushed so hard to feel mine 2 weeks ago it hurt for 4 days after that.

Today he felt it and I could feel it, it is the side of my big incision. I feel it when I roll on that side in bed too!

It freaks me out sometimes, but I would love to have it "stick out" as I lose weight! :)

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
