Has anyone experienced soreness in their stomach weeks after their surgery? I'm five weeks out and went back to work a week ago. I have primarily a desk job and have noticed that my stomach is very sore where I had my surgery. Not on the outside where my incisions are, but inside, like I've been doing hundreds of crunches. I contacted my surgeon about it, and he doesn't know what to make of it. I'm thinking it's from all the sitting I do at my job, but I'm not sure. I also notice that sometimes if I bend a certain way, I feel like inside I can feel "hardness," almost like I can feel the staples around my new pouch. Has anyone had the same experience? Does it go away? Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, I am posting this for Sherri, ObesityHelp Web Services Manager: Greetings everyone! We wanted to get your feedback. Here at ObesityHelp.com we are always trying to help our members in anyway we can. We have found a special finance company that deals with financing surgical procedures such as plastic surgery and bariatric surgery and would like to hear your experiences and feedback with dealing with this company. Several people, as a back up plan, have applied and gotten preapproved for a loan, just in case their insurance company denied them at the last minute, so they wouldn't have to postpone their surgery. So, check it out, it's free to apply. :cool: http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/finance_services.phtml And make sure to let us know how things went and help us to determine if this service is a benefit to our members.:deal: You can send your feedback to [email protected] For your privacy, please do not post personal information in your replies on the message board!!

Doyle or Herlong area? I know that is in California, But I cant find anybody up around here and I thought because we are so close to Reno maybe they are here. Thank you, Dana
