I'm day 5 post-op and the big incision where they removed my stomach is still in a massive amount of pain. When I walk it's the worst feeling ever. Did anyone else have this problem?

I found that when I was in the first week it wasn't so much incision pain as I originally thought but rather pain on my left side between incisions. This is where the "heavy lifting" was done in surgery, so internal recovery is often hardest in that spot.

I'm 10 days post-op, and the big incision still is sore but getting better everyday. To get in and out of bed was the worse. I'm off the prescription pain medication but take Tylenol and that helps. It does get better.

I'm 20 days out and still have pain on my left side. I notice that if I don't have on the binder it's worse, I have to hold my stomach so it won't hurt. The pain feels like soreness but tearing. Is this normal. Or should I be worried??

So I only have incision pain, my stitch hurts a lot but if I were you I'd really consult with my doctor. Idk if that's normal and non of us here are doctors but I would ask just to be on the safe side

I am 6 days post op, and I have pain in the largest incision area which is on my right side about 6 inches below my breast. It hurts when I get up from sitting mostly. And bending over. I think its normal, but it does worry me as well sometimes, when the pain is stinging or like tearing. The pain is well below the incision surface.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
