I am 4 weeks post-op from sleeve and on Thursday started having extreme pain at main incision site. If I bend in that direction pain is so bad brings tears. Doesn't feel like the gas I had prior. Can't sleep, can't get comfortable. Pain when I go to sit down or get up. Going to Dr tomorrow for follow up but has anyone else experienced this? Can't even bend over to put on shoes.

I have...my dr said that it's normal to have a discomfort...not extreme pain tho...it the area they pulled out ur stomach that's why the incision is bigger then the rest. Good luck at the dr hoping all is well. Vsg 10/13

I had similar pain and I'm also 4 weeks out. It took a few days, but it finally went away. Tell your doctor about it, but you should be fine

Ty I think maybe went back to work too soon, maybe pushed to much

So went to Dr wants me to get Ct Scan to rule out hernia or hematoma. It's scheduled for tomorrow. Gave me some pain meds and off work for another week.

Good luck. Hope everything goes ok. I've been feeling more pain in thar area too. And feeling really sore like i did a bunch of crunches. I hate to admit it but i haven't done any of those in years. Not since i got a bad cramp from trying to do them lol. But this is almost worrying me because i was fine and then i woke up in pain. Like..wth?
