8 weeks post op today

I am down 53 lbs!! Which is great but for about 3 weeks or so, if I stand too long, my sleeve hurts. I mean really hurts. But only when I stand for long periods of time. Has anyone else had this issue? Of course, I still feel that my stomach is swollen and probably will be for a while. Any ideas?

I felt like that for about 3 months after surgery. If you think about it you're losing so much weight that muscle mass is disappearing too so your abdominal muscles are a little weaker. My surgeon told me it's either that or the scar tissue. By the way 53lbs is awesome! Congratulations! :)

Thank you for the response. That would make sense. :)
