Hello! I had my surgery exactly one week ago. I have never been completely in pain but my right side is sore when I move. My big question though is the left side of my belly seems to be very swollen. Is that normal for only one side to be swollen? Please let me know if any of you have experienced this! Hope everyone is doing well!

Hello, I'm 18 days post sleeve surgery. My main pain & swelling was on the left side and I think my surgeon said that's where they pulled the part of my stomach they cut away out. I had pains both sides but was significantly worse on my left. It's a big op but if your worried check with your surgeon or GP. I hope that helps and hope all goes well on this great journey.

yes. My right side is swollen. I am 7 days out and it's going down but I thought at first that I looked deformed!!!! I used the heating pad 2 nights. I think that helped. They took my stomach out on the right. What side for you?

Thanks for the replys! I believe they took the excess out on my right side. The swelling for me is on my left side though. I go for a follow up on Wednesday so I will check then!

Good luck!

My right side was excessively swollen. I have six incisions and the one that was the most sore on the right, looked like there was a swollen egg under the skin on top of generally just more swollen on that side. Dr. Said the same, that's where he pulled the stomach and did the most work through. He assured me it would normalize like the rest of the incisions in time. I am 10 weeks out and honestly, barely remembered about it until I read your post! But I do recall being worried it would always be weirdly prominent.

This makes me feel so much better as I have been paranoid!!! Thanks for commenting
