I had surgery on Tuesday, the 28th. It has been getting easier each day, however, the majority of my pain is from the scope hole used to pull the stomach out. I'm sure that my body is re-adjusting it's new space, but I haven't read about anyone else having this. It is painful, but controlled w/ meds. I was just wondering how long this lasts, if anyone has experienced this as I have.

My stomach removal incision is my most painful one too. I have an incision on either side of my navel. The one on the left (when I look down) is my big incision. No dents anywhere though!

Yes, that's were mine is at too but with dent. Lol

You're welcome!

Thanks so much for the info Penpen!

Thanks SO much for this question!! Newly sleeved 9/14/11 and right now that is my only hiccup. I'm like "If this thing felt better, I'd be perfect right now." The tightness/sensitivity causes me to just want to get somewhere and sit down.

My surgery was on the 23rd. That incision for me was the most painful. And something really weird about it is that right above that incision, there is a very noticeable dent in my stomach. I'm not concerned with it because when the weight comes off, it will probably not be noticeable. It looks like they did lipo suction in that one area. Lol

The pain in that incision isn't as bad but now I'm having a lot of inner pain were they cut me about 3 inches above that. I'm sure it is just scar tissue forming inside and it hurts when I stretch it or what have you.

Can't wait either to hear others' answers.

omg! I have the same dent! I just figured it was because my surgery was just a few days ago.

i have the same dent and the same pain. im doing good otherwise getting my protein but ready to move on to somthing more solid i got some sad head hunger going on, but i was 306 preop and im 292 today and i just had the sleeve done last thursday.
