Hello my fellow VSG friends. I'm 2 weeks out and have been feeling great up intill last night. I have a sharp burning pain between my two top incision every time I sit or stand. It feels like it's right under my skin ,maybe in the muscle area. Has anyone had these pains or started having pains weeks out? Help

I would go see the doc - a sudden change from fine to pain doesn't sound normal to me. Have you done anything to yourself that could have caused this? Lifted something heavy, had a blow to the area, etc?

I am not a doctor or medical person, so I err on the side of caution.

Good Luck. Let us know what you decide.

I had a similar thing. I had my sleeve on 2/8. My sutures are "spitting" They are supposed to be absorbable, but my body doesn't like that. My surgeon says that they will trim the ends that have spit out, but they do have a burning type feeling. I would definitely call your surgeon though. Any change in pain is a reason for a call.

mine were discomfortable for a few weeks but once gone didn't come back. I would just call the nurse before scheduling a doctor appointment

Thanks for the comments! I talked to my Dr.'s RN and she said this is pretty common if you over due it to early. My staples are pulling on my muscles causing the burning pain. She said take it easy, heating pad and pain meds for a fee day.
