Sleeved 10/21.. large incision



Recommended Posts

Hi I was Sleeved on Monday the 21st. Aside from the eating thing if it wasn't for the pain at the site of my largest incision I would hardly even know I had surgery. Funny thing is it seems to be getting worse every day. I had my post op visit this Thursday and dr said everything looks great. Is this normal and what is your experience?

Thank you! !

Yeah... I'm only taking liquid acetaminophen when it gets bad and dr told me to continue taking my muscle relaxer at bedtime.

Thanks for responding. I wish you weren't hurting but I feel better knowing it's not just me! Lol

I'm a little over 7 weeks out and my big incision is still a little sore, I think it is from the muscle inside still healing. It doesn't hurt constantly but if I do something stupid it lets me know it's still there!

Hi...I was sleeved on the 16th and my large incision started feeling really good! Could get out of bed without moaning! Then just 4 days ago started having bad pains in my sleep have got worse every day. Now the swelling in my abdomen looks like it did 2 days out of surgey.... What is going on? Had my follow up yesterday any he said he thought everything was good. I feel like I need an antibiotic. I get infected at the drop of a hat.... I guess we will wait and keep our fingers crossed.... Anyone else having sharp pains that wake you up under the bad incision area? Or any later swelling after the swelling had gone down somewhat?

I can't tell if I'm swollen because I'm fat..lol.. but yes, it was getting better now getting worse again. Starting back to work on Tuesday, I'm a hair stylist and nervous about the soreness and lack of energy.

I was sleeved on the 14th and mine does not hurt anymore. I have walked, walked, and walked. Feel fortunate.

How about you? Maybe try taking the muscle relaxer.. or a heating pad.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
