Pain 4 Weeks Post Op?

[jlweb23 5]

Anybody else still having pain? I felt pretty good last week but the past few days i have burning/ pulling on my belly- right side again. Kindof between 2 incisions. This is the only spot that ever really hurt all along.. Nothing major, but sore

Could be muscle pain. The muscles heal slower than the skin. I get a similar burning and I am 4 weeks out as well.

Could be your nerves regenerating . . . I heard that happens about 3-4 weeks out. Or maybe formation of scar tissue? I haven't experienced it myself as I am only two weeks out. I'm curious about what others may think.

I am at the docs for my 1 month post op now . We'll see what he says:)

I am 5 weeks and have the same feeling in my right side. Update us on what your doc says!

I'm 5.5 weeks out and having the same pain on my right side as well

All he really had to say about the pain is that the stapler was in the right side, so it will hurt more over there. Didnt seem too concerned, and said i have abdolutely no restrictions to what i can do now. Obviously i will listen to my body, and if it hurts, wont do it ! He also said i can skip my last week of purreed and 2 weeks of soft and just eat what i can tolerate i told him I was a bit discouraged about only losing 17 lbs in a month since surgery, but he said 6 lbs per month is a more realistic goal for me since my bmi was barely 35 to start..? Not sure how i feel about that.. Excited to finally eat though! Ha!

Will it always hurt or will it eventually go away?
