Pain?

Had surgery last Monday 1/13. I had the Lap-band removed and a lot of scar tissue removed. I now am happy to have the sleeve. I am feeling good over all a little better everyday. However when I walk I get a horrible pain by my large incision which goes around to my back and a lot of time I scream. I don't have any pain when I'm resting just soreness. I didn't call drs office today now I'm wondering if I should. Has anyone else had this kind of pain?

Thanks! I'm just surprised how bad it is! Counting the days.

Bad pain isn't the "norm", but everyone is different. Since you did have a revision and additional scar tissue a call to your doctor would be reasonable. Though it is probably just as you think, muscle pain related to surgery, it is better to be safe than sorry. Best of luck to you!

I'm going to see him tomorrow. He wants me to increase pain meds to 4 times a day and take gasX!

Be careful with to much pain medicine it will have you constipated
