Painful lap site?

I had my surgery on 12/10. I have one lap site that is SO painful!! It hurts so much!! Especially in the evening. It is NOT red, swollen or inflamed. It is just so painful. It feels just the way it did after surgery. Pretty much no better! And it's been a week! I'm so annoyed by this because otherwise I feel I am doing great. What can I do to make this better? What can I do to help the pain? I've tried heat, cold, the only thing that helps is not really moving- but I'm not about to stay still & get a blood clot! Ugh!

Is it the biggest one? If it is that's the one that had more trauma they remove the stomach out of the biggest incision and normally it gets stretched a lot hence why it might be more painful give it a couple more days. If its not red or hot to the touch you'll be ok. Always contact your doc if it doesn't feel right..

My whole stomach is still very tender, I was sleeved 12-11 but I do have one site that is definitely more painful than the rest and it's not red/leaking/swollen either. I still do my pain medication once a day and at night if it's bothering me. I know it's hard but our bodies do need time to heal! :)

Yes it was the biggest one & today I really feel like a million bux. Finally exactly one week later I feel a lot better. Thanks!

Glad to hear you're feeling better..
