Hello so I am new to the sleeve. Im kn day three. I was looking at my incisions because they're are so incredibly painful I can't even get up on my own...and I noticed I have two incisions in my belly button as well as the other 4 around my abdomen. Wondering if anyone else had this. It hurts so much anytime I do anything.

I’m a week out from surgery, and although my biggest incision is above my belly button, I’m not in any pain... my belly is just sore. Other people can jump in with their experiences, but I think the pain you’re experiencing is unusual and probably worth a call to your surgeon. Good luck!

I’ve 5.5 weeks out now and my incisions have healed up, but I also had two larger incisions (mine were above the belly button) and four small ones around my belly.

I had 5. This was later in the day on the day of my surgery (9/16). No pain except for a few times when I overdid it walking / moving around.IMG_20200916_181118.jpg

I never looked in my belly button (mine is very deep and sensitive such that I don't let ANYONE touch it and I didn't want to know!!) but they made me clean it so I figured they did something there. I think three days, my incisions were still painful, but shortly after, I was fine. I would give it another day...and then call my surgeon.

I still had incision pain two weeks post. After mentioning this during my post op visit, my surgeon said it was just the muscles healing and suggested I wear a binder. I started wearing one the same day. Woke up four days later and no pain. Exactly what he said would happen.

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
