Incisions

When do your incisions stop hurting? I was sleeved on 9/4. Most of my incisions are find but the bottom 2 hurt. Especially the one that they took my stomach out of. That one is also indented which bothers me, but others have said that it goes back to normal.

Same here, hope it gets better soon...

Same here as well. I was also sleeved Sept 4th. The indent makes me crazy.

I was sleeved on 26 June and was about 4 weeks until I was pain free, although the port site that the stomach was pulled out of was still just slightly sore. All good now coming up to 3 months post op.

Mine weren't really sore. They itched like crazy though.

I am 3 months post op and my indention is just now gone.

Yeah, I'm noticing mine are itching like crazy.

Itch and pain receptors are the same. Itch is a less intense version of pain. Healing is underway...unless it it accompanied by redness swelling and drainage...that's infection

Maybe try massaging vitamin E cream or oil.

I was sleeved on 8/29. My indention is almost gone. My port side is still really sore. Actually taking 800 of ibuprofen every 8 hours to help. Can't wait for this pain to go away for good.

Mine only hurt when I twisted wrong or laid on the wrong. The pain ended at about 2-3weeks, and at about 6 weeks I couldn't even feel it anymore.

I'm 3 weeks out and still have itching/ discomfort to my incisions.

I had the single incision and that baby itches!! Since its at my belly button and in a moist spot, it's taking a while to heal. I still have some bloody drainage, but he nurse said it looks good. As long as redness isn't radiating from it and it's not overly warm or draining the yellow or green, it's ok. Itchy itchy itchy though! I'm not allowed to put anything on it, no lotions. Gotta keep it clean and dry.
