Hello everyone, today I am 17 days out from being sleeved and for the most part I feel as if everything has been "typical." I am feeling some mood swings regretting my surgery when I am hungry or when I have taken one to many bites, still on the pureed stage and honestly cant imagine eating anything that isnt pureed, I feel as if it would hurt my new tummy... My concern/question is about my largest incision (the one where the stomach is removed) as I said I am 17 days out from my surgery and I still feel a lot of pulling and quit often a sharp pinching like stitches are still pulling tight, did anyone experience anything similar to this or am I the only one? I have no trouble with any of the other incisions at all just the largest one, scares me a little like either stitches are still to tight or a leak... any words of advice or similar stories would be greatly appreciated as my imagination gets carried away at times. Thanks in advance!

I had pains at that incision for about 3 weeks, nothing major, more annoying at moments and it felt like a hard knot for five weeks.

oh thanks, I was a bit concerned, thanks again i feel better as I to have the knot so that is also easing my concern on that as well!! Thanks again.

I had that pain for almost two months..

I am 8 days post op and have had pain in the same area. Called dr yesterday and was told it's normal and to try putting a heating pad on it. Today, something new happened. The pain, which is right under my left breast has now become MUCH more sharp, like a stabbing pain. Even hurts when I take a deep breath. Suddenly, I'm a bit scared / freaked out. Any thoughts appreciated!

I'm glad it's not just me. I am 15 days out from surgery and I still have a lot of pain at that same incision. Last week it was so bad I called the doctor but he said it was normal as that incision is the largest and it was stitched from the inside as opposed to the other incisions. It also hurts so much because of where it is. Mine is right at the crease of my belly (slightly higher and to the right of my belly button). So every time I sit or stand it hurts.I had all good intentions of going back to the gym to just start some cardio this week, but it hurts just to walk. I have been wearing a waist cyncher and that actually helps alot. It's not a tight one, but it holds that area tight and it feels better when I walk.

Anyway, I'm not glad anyone else is in pain, but I'm glad to hear it is normal.

My pain was pretty bad in the same spot, I was told it is very common. Mine lasted at least 2 months.
