Sleevers Soreness

I got my sleeve on 11/8. I was pre-warned by my cousin who had her sleeve last March that the incision where they took my stomach out is going to hurt. Anyone else going through this? Any ideas on how to keep the soreness down? So far all I've done is ice it, it helps for a little while until I have to move. I feel like I've done too many sit-ups and I now have a "stitch" in my side.

  • I’m 3 months post op and that is the only incision that still bothers me. It’s raised, hard, and slightly sore. Doc told me it may never go away completely, but that it should get better.

    Thank you so much. I knew this was gonna hurt.. but I didn't know for how long. I can live with it. I'm going to get sooo much more than a little pain out of this.
