That's a triple whammy!

Hopefully someone will may be able to help. I imagine you are feeling quite sorry, could be a couple of weeks before you are feeling yourself again.

Ooops that was meant to be sore! But I am guessing 'sore and sorry' both fit.

Head up, won't be long before you are feeling yourself again, hopefully you have some support and someone to spoil you a little through this time

I only had the gastric bypass without the other operations. In my case it took 6 months to fully recover. But each day it got a little better.

It took you 6 months did you have complications or was it just a longer process for you

Most weight loss surgeries today are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery). This is how my surgery was done, I had 7 incision points. The one area where they did the most work produced a large knot. It took around 6 months for that knot to go away.

In general most of the healing takes place in the first few weeks, but it does take awhile for it all to go away completely.

Since you had 3 surgeries at once, you will have a longer recovery time. Over my lifetime I have had 2 hernia operations. One was done where they opened me up and the other was done laparoscopically. That made quite a difference in recovery times. I think when they opened me up, for around the first month, I could hardly even get up without help. In the laparoscopic operation, I was up and about in a weeks time.

I had mine 2/15 and im just now starting to feel human again. Hang in there, it gets better and less painful.

I'm 5 years out..had Ryn and hernia..took at least 3-4 weeks to feel semi normal. Taking short walks a few times around my living room seemed to help.

So @Yashica 37 are things starting to smooth out a little better for you now? They say time heals all wounds, don't see any reason Bariatric wounds would be different. Bye and Bye most things seem to straighten themselves out!?
