2 weeks post op still sore



Recommended Posts

Is this normal my tummy is still sore espically on my right side. I don't notice it as much until I go to stand up or roll over. Not sure if I'm just looking for problems due to major complications with the band, so just checking to see if I'm being a baby or if it is normal. Thanks

I agree with chardgrl I am still slightly sore on my right side as well...Each day is better than the day before.

It took me almost exactly four weeks for the soreness to go away. Once that internal stitch dissolved everything felt better immediately.

I'm 2 weeks today and still sore, mostly on my left side. Now I'm curious as to how many people had their tummy removed from the right versus left side???

I had mine taken out on the left as well - thanks for asking this question though as it's been something I've been wondering about too since there seems to be a mix of both sides ;)

Mine came out through my belly button incision. Oh yeah it is numb and sore at the same time.

Belly button incision is about an inch bigger than all the rest.

There are two surgeons at the hospital where I was sleeved. One takes it out on the right the other on the left. Mine was on the right, I was sore for about 6 weeks. I'm 14 weeks out today and down 80 lbs and feeling great.

How do you know where it was taken out? Just the larger incision? My largest was like an inch and that was in the middle, the rest are a half inch or less

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
