I am 11 days post op and all incisions are great!

I'm 2 months out and sometimes I still get a pulling pain sensation in the big incision I don't know how much longer it will keep hurting

Mine went away about 12 days after surgery.

Don't panic. Everyone is different. we all heal differently and at different rates. Remember you have layers there. With several suture lines. Also it is tender because they pulled your stomach out of there and so that is why it hurts more.

Just be careful to not over do it until it completely heals. I know this takes patients but you are not a lone. All sleevers just about had tenderness with the largest incision.

8 days is not really very long. With my lap band surgery it hurt for about a month or maybe even 6 weeks.

Mine was about 3 weeks out.

None of my incisions hurt after surgery and I was surprised when I found out which one my stomach was taken out of. That one healed the fastest and you can hardly see the scar.

I had adhesions or scar tissue type things that grew and pulled. Lower right area was pretty bad. Had I done some twists and turns I likely could have knocked em loose and saved myself 6 weeks of unpredictable sharp pains. I thought it was normal but it was a result of c-sections, and hysterectomy surgeries and the way my body reacted to more in body invasions.
