Incision pain

Hi everyone! I am exactly one week post-op as of today. Was wondering if anyone has had pain in the incision where they removed your stomach? I have been fine every day since the surgery. Today that spot in particular hurts just as much as it did the day I had the surgery. Any idea or thoughts why it would act up after 7 days?

    The larger incision was painful even after a week. I am into week 2 and the pain is pretty much gone. As long as nothing is oozing out you should be fine. I switched up the way I sleep by alternating

    lift yourself from sitting or lying down position using an arm chair or end of a table. You are still raw inside, it probably just got strained. Take it easy.

Oh the incision pain! I was not prepared for that and when I read about people not having pain it all it just pissed me off! LOL!

My surgery was 4/22/19 and I still have some pain when bending over to pick up things. But, this week has been the best week by far when it comes to the pain. I managed most of the time after week 2 with no pain meds but like Sunday night I was in pain from being very active that day - walking the dog a couple times, cleaning, doing laundry, so I did take some tylenol.

It still hurts a bit to lay down flat to sleep and especially when I roll over. Just a pulling sensation.

Hang in there!
