It's been a month since my.GS procedure and my abdomen is still very sore. I still have difficulty bending over. I know that everyone tolerates pain differently, but I'm just curious of when others started feeling relief from abdominal soreness?

I never really had any. I guess we all respond differently.

Well you did have fibers pushed aside, 3/4 of your stomach removed, even cuts through your muscles, I would give it 6 weeks total, if no better I think you should let them know you are still so sore!

The omentum was detached from the fundus and believe it or not it will move over and reattach to the smaller stomach, plus nerves were moved around, and your stomach was pulled out of that small hole - it will be sore for awhile. It gets better. My sternum was very sore when I moved suddebly. A heating pad on low really helped.

Mine is sore on the lower right! Getting up and down is what really hurts. Anyone else like this? Oh, and coughing is a killer.

I'm about two weeks out of GS and feel your soreness. Especially the area were they pulled the stomach through. Thanks for the heads up on how long y'all are feeling the soreness for.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
