How long did your incision pain last?



Recommended Posts

I’m having the common pain I read so much about at the incision next to my bellybutton. How long did this last for you?

I think you'll get a variety of answers here. I had almost no pain at my incisions. Good luck to you, though!

I didnt have pain at first, but at 10 days I developed sharp pain at the main incision site. It felt like there was an embedded knife, and it hurt when I moved. That pain went away after about a week, as suddenly as it came.

I’m three weeks out and I still have sharp burning pain in my left side. I still can’t bend over or reach down and sitting in a chair or in the car is still uncomfortable. For the first 8days the pain was awful that it hurt just to sit on the toilet and I had to have someone pull up my pants. I don’t have the excruciating pain as much anymore, but I still have trouble getting comfortable in bed.

Most of the pain/discomfort was gone the first week, though there’s still mild tenderness at two weeks on the larger incisions.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
