My stomach still feels sore 10 days out of surgery when I sit/ stand. It's much less pain and is manageable but I was wondering when does this stop? It comes and goes but is a very dull ache that spikes sometimes. When did it stop for you guys? Did you even experience this?

I will be 4 weeks post op on Monday and I was told to look forward to it until I am 3 to 6 months post op because my muscles and nerves were cut and now they are coming back...ugh some days are definitely worse than others but hopefully it will be gone for good soob.

So it can hurt for months? Guess its true they cut through nerves and have to recuperate on little nutrients right after.

The soreness will take some time to heal but it gets better day by day. I think it took about 6 weeks maybe a little more or less to complete stop feeling the soreness.

I'm 10 weeks post op and I have no soreness -- I think my soreness was gone by week 3 or 4. I've been working out with my trainer since 4 weeks post op and have had no issues with abs or heavy weights. Guess it's different for everyone, though, but it will definitely get better.

I am 18 days out from surgery and I was feeling great. Ion Friday, while getting up I'm sure I tore some scar tissue and it hurts badly. It's almost as bad as surgery was. I'm hoping the pain doesn't last long.

Same for me. As a whole no pain, but the larger incision on left side can be tender at times.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
