Pain in One Incision, So Much Worse than the Rest
I had a VSG on Tuesday. August 4th, and am mostly feeling really good. My one issue is that one of my incisions is extremely painful. It's the incision used to pull my stomach out, and the only way I can walk is to puts lots of pressure on that area. I am not a wuss when it comes to pain, but this one makes me cry out, and just plain cry when I move around. If this didn't hurt so much I would be running down the street, happy that I had it done.
I am wearing a binder that helps somewhat, but I still have to use my fist to add additional pressure. Any suggestions on what I can do?
Are you taking pain medication?

Calling your surgeon and askin for something different/stronger would be wise
