Recovery for me went well, had small issues like a very runny tummy for the first week so got really dehydrated, also my incisions got infected so had to get a sugar free liquid antibiotic which was the worst thing I have ever tasted in my life.

I didn't feel like my tummy had been cut out but did feel very tender where the large incision was. It's more achy than sore, I felt it more when I was bending or trying to sit up. I can honestly say it wasn't agony and was it was a really manageable pain, not half as sore as I was expecting.

Hope this helps.

for me, it felt like i had just done 10,000 sit-ups. it felt like muscle aches, not like they just removed half your stomach. the incision where they remove the stomach hurt the most and the longest.

I couldn't bend. Day one I couldn't even wipe my own as s. as the days went on it gets better, took me almost 2 weeks to sleep on my side. But now I'm back to normal :)
