Surgery date 23 march, full liquids start tomorrow. I'm getting everything in just using pain meds at night. But the side pain really makes doing much really tough. Can't bend much if at all. How long till this goes away or gets better. This pain and the already growing weight of skin apron from lost belly fat pulling at that same side pain sucks bad. Incisions are healing fine. Everything seems on track just curious about this pain.

Has surgery same day. Two of my incisions are the same when I roll over or stand up after sitting. Walking is helping. When I hit the one mile mark I find it burning again and have to stop. Remember that nerves were cut going into your belly and they are reconnecting. Often that is the cause of the pain.

Organs don't have pain receptor nerves. So what you and I are experiencing is the nerve pain in skin tissues

When it bugs you and you worry, just remember they cut through your stomach muscle and now it needs to heal! I had a hard time with that pain and wanted it to just be gone! But it eventually does, mine lasted maybe 2 weeks

Hope you guys feel better, mine was the day before 3/22. I had the same aweful pulling sensation. They said sometimes there is also an internal stitch. But it's about 12 days post op and I haven't felt it the past two days as much.

I just found this app. Which I had known about it before I had surgery! Lots of great advice.

Mine is an internal stitch through a muscle. It's being aggravated by the 58 lbs I've lost and my belly fat apron pulls on that muscle. The pain is now to where I'm told not to walk unless I have to and they will reevaluate again on Tuesday. When on meds and I cough or bend wrong it's like a 6 if my meds wear off and it happens it's a 9. The pain starts at the incision site and slowly moves towards my hip, I can follow the pain on the surface of my skin as it moves. Takes like a minute from start to finish, really sucks. Just waiting till tuesday.

Best of luck to you, hope your pain gets better. Mine is still there but getting a little less sharp each day as long as I keep pain meds in me.

Doctor says the stitch that is causing the pain will dissolve in 6 weeks and should start hurting alot less any day now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?

      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
