Hi guys

All of my incisional pain was tolerable. Only took pain meds once at home.

The incisions don't hurt but I do hurt inside, below the lowest right incision. As my activity level increases, I am getting more frequent and sharp pains. Sometimes it feels like someone is cinching up a corset. I also get spasms in that area. I am 3 weeks post op. The pain has been the worse the past 2 days. I walk often and I'm on my feet at work about 50% of the time. It's just part of the healing. It's tolerable but uncomfortable.

Incision pain is minimal. Pain more internal

80% of your stomach will be removed and their is trauma. It is secured with 3 rows of staples. The area that is sore is where the stomach was removed and there is a very deep internal stitch.

Mine was not bad at all. I only took pain meds at night for the first 4 nights, then the only problem was the itching during the healing period.

I took pain meds twice. . The night I got home from hospital n the next day.

That was one of the things I was really worried about - needlessly !

I think a lot of the pain is from the incisions, but not from the cuts -- the problem is that the doctors stab you through the muscles of your stomach, and as a result you have a lot of muscle damage. The "internal" pain, imo, comes from this. It aches when you bend/twist, since it pulls at muscles that are still working on healing.

For me, incision pain is the worst pain, in this regard. I can't sleep more than ~4 hours in a night without having to adjust position due to the ache. But it's not a stabbing pain, just a lingering, dull throb.

I never really had any pain with the incisions; however, at about 6 weeks post-op, the incision inside my belly button began to ooze this clear Fluid mixed with blood. I ended up having to take an antibiotic for a week, and it cleared right up, and now it is back to smooth sailing.
