I know everyone is different. I was just wondering. How long does the stomach pulling start to get better. I was sleeved on 3/30. My incision site hurts so bad when I get up or sit down. I know it will stop eventually but wanted to know how far ahead is the light at the end of the tunnel

By the time you go back for your first post op that "pulling" sensation should have eased. If not, do not hesitate to bring it to your surgeon's attention.

Let us know how you are doing, OK?

We care and don't like to hear about any member being in pain or discomfort.

Feel better.

Thanks so much. I guess because my bed is kinda high bits very hard to get I and out. The pulling had been my worst part so far. I walk and stretch and do what I can. Just want that to stop lol. My apt I'd 4/14. Thanks so much for the info n

I'm a day ahead of you and mine has now stopped pulling my bed is also high but I guess everyone is different

Hi,

Is that pulling from the stomach?

It is awful pain, I thought is was just the larger incision pain.

I have one incision that pulls/hurts a lot but it's not the one they took the stomach out from. I was sleeved 3/31 and lying here wondering the same thing. I was kind of rubbing and it hurts even to touch around it. Doesn't appear to be infected or anything and it's the same as the pain I had on that site almost immediately post op. It's the one spot that hurts when I move, get up, bend over, etc. ready for it to stop!

Hope you get some relief soon.

I hope it stops soon, it's pretty bad, it's a stinging, burning pain!

Yes the exact same thing. It's the only thing holding me back from feeling good! Maybe by the end of the week...lets hope for that.

Yes that's exactly what I have to. But mine is definitely the large incision. I've been sleeping get on the couch just cause its easier on my stomach. I feel fantastic other than this pulling.

This sharp stabbing, stinging pain....not getting any better. Called the nurse today and she said its most likely nerve damage. Should have asked how long till it goes away. She said to take Tylenol since I'm not taking pain meds anymore. I've been doing that it helps intermittently.
