Post op inside pain

Sleeved yesterday morning

Not quire sure how to phrase this correctly, but how bad was your actual stomach pain? The inside as opposed to the incisions? It's dumb but I guess I never thought about this before the procedure. I thought about it hurting when I ate and about the incisions but I never really took time to think about how I'd have an open wound inside my body that would just be achy afterwards?

What was your inner incision pain like? I'm also feeling lots of spasms and contracting.

Thanks!
