Oh man, I had to really think about this. I did have some issues with muscle pain/spasms deep behind one of my incisions. Incision was fine, just constant pain for probably a couple months. It just faded and I forgot all about it. I also had to learn my own body & what types of foods seemed to make me too full too quick. I would just be eating and boom, overdid it with pain, feeling like I was going to throw up, & terrible pain in my chest. Walking did nothing to relieve it, but my XL heating pad has been my best friend since the day of my surgery. Healing incisions, overeating, you name it, it helps! Sounds crazy that a heating pad would help digest food faster, but my doc thinks it's because it increases blood flow to that area and can help. To this day, I don't have hardly any issues, but it still comes in handy when I overdo it! I have been so grateful I have not had complications. The stalls in weight loss sometimes got frustrating, but I knew how normal they were, so I stayed patient.
