I was sleeved on May 17th. Everything went great, up and walking a few hours after surgery, the pain was manageable and mostly around my incisions. Lately, my incisions don't hurt, they just itch but I have a kinda gnawing/nagging pain right around my belly button, maybe a little higher. It is definitely an internal pain and I can't really describe it. It's somewhere between super sore ab muscles and menstrual cramps. It's pretty constant unless I'm laying down or completely still. Im wondering if it's just the soreness/healing of the staple line? I'm not taking any pain meds for it but it's getting old!

Anyone else experience this? When can I hope to feel better?

I have a really sore right said I had surgery May 5th I talked to my surgeons office and they said it is the muscle underneath healing. So I expect you are having something similair

I got sleeved 5/12 and still feel slight pain but definitely depends on how much I'm doing. Last two days have definitely gotten better. I had to go back to work this past Monday , I felt exhausted. I eat every 2 hours ex ½ egg, light and fit yogurt, sip on my Protein shake and the last 2 days were good , my wounds are finally closed and the bruising went away. It takes time and every day I notice I'm dropping inches. Follow your gut listen to your body and walk walk walk.
