Hello fellow gastric sleeve people,

My name is Annika I just had my slleve sugery 11/3/2014. My incision pain is unbearable still after pain meds, Does anyone remember how long this lasts, and what you did to ease the pain...HOT PACKS, LAYING A CERTAIN WAY... ECT. My doc said a couple days but that's not the case. and they are not infected, they are actually healing good... just lots of bruises.

How about ice packs instead of heat? My largest incision burned for a few weeks. I found if I wore a spanx like garment it helped.

Hope you feel better soon.

I am so sorry to hear that. I wish I had some wonderful helpful advice, but I was sleeved on 10/27 and never had incision pain. I hope that subsides for you very soon! Mine are just itching like crazy right now and I lost the glue on one of them. I am amazed at how tiny the actual incision is.

Good Luck with your recovery!!!

The main exit incision will hurt for up to 4 weeks or so. It gets better closer to 3-4 weeks but even then, if I sat up too quickly or twisted a certain way it hurt. Hang in there!
