Sleeves on 12/9 and gallbladder surgery 1/12, soo much pain in incisions

kymmiej11 · March 12, 2015

Hello all, I've had two suggests in the past 2-3 months, my incision pain is sooo bad, and I am on my feet all day long at work, my surgeon wants me to go to a pain specialist, but am scared of getting hooked on pills.. Anybody else out there going through this?!? Thank you in advance!!

I've had both surgeries, gallbladder in '06 and sleeved on 12/3/14. Not much pain for me for either surgery compared to several others (22 in all) I've had, but one thing I did learn from all those surgeries is to give them time to heal before going whole hog at work or at home. If you can get easier duties at work, do it, make sure you ask about it. You don't want to have a relapse or end up in the hospital with a real big problem. You loved yourself to have this surgery, now love yourself and care for yourself through the recovery. Best of luck to you!

Have you tried wearing the compression belt thingy they have u at the hospital? That will stop the constant pulling while standing and walking. Looks like an oversized ace bandage with velcro.
