Hi family.. I was sleeved on 12/5. I had surgery at about 9:45am and went to recovery for an hour and a half then to my room. Gas pain was a killer but I walked and walked as much as I could. My incisions are very sore. I have 6. Lap sites with detmabobd glue. The biggest one on my left side underneath my breast hurts the most so I'm assuming that's the one they pulled the stomach out of. However, I feel it is worth it and I will know even more so that it's worth it in 3-4 months when I can see my body actually changing. Good luck to all and let's stay positive and post our updates so that we can be encouraging to others.

Hello,

Hope your incisions heal quick. Did you take any gas x strips for the gas?

Just weighed myself. I'm 10.5 lbs down in a week!

My doctor said during surgery they gave me a anesthetic that would last a couple of days so I felt pretty pain free until that second day. I wish he had prepared me a little more for how painful that main incision was going to be.

That's awesome more successes to you! Maybe your dr can prescribe you something else for the pain

@81KELLOGRAM..... my main incision is pretty sore as well. I'm just taking it day by day. I have lost 7 lbs in four days. Looking forward to 1 month follow up to see all of our progress.

Pic of my lap sites... 5 on the belly and 1 in my belly button. Can't wait until they heal . But just wanted to show the lap sites.

I got mine on the 6th and was discharged from the hospital on the 7th

I've felt a little nauseous but not terrible I think what's the worst for me is overall pain in my tummy area when getting up.

Well I have a total of 6 lap sites. The biggest scar I have is located on my left side( not directly under my breast that was just to give an idea where sure was)

. My upper left quadrant of my abdomen is most sore and I figured that it's most sore due to the stomach is located in the upper left quad of abdomen. So, since I saw that scar was the longest incision and it is the most sore, I assumed that is where they pulled the part of the stomach that was removed from that site. I did not have a drain . So, that's what the incision under my left breast is????. quote name="ambernoel" post="4341250" timestamp="1481316069"]

I have three cuts and my drain I'm not sure what your big cut would be under your left breast
