When do te stitches stop hurting?



Recommended Posts

It's been 11 days to my surgery when do the stitches stop hurting? Three days after surgery the pain wasn't so bad but since last two days the left big incision is hurting again.

Are we supposed to rest most of the day? Cuz I don't

You too huh? I have not stopped to rest since I got home from the hospital. I have so much going on I just can't seem to catch a break. We SHOULD be resting some. I am 19 days out. The staples hurt more because your skin is starting to heal all around them and then one weird turn or reach can make it feel like it's tearing a bit. The large incision area is the most painful though. I'm past the pain and itching like crazy!!! Good luck to u and try to take it easy!!!

At three weeks I started no feeling any pain. Like you I did not sit still and yes when you twist and bend you might feel a little pain. No big deal.

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

      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! 😞
