    Other than this darn thing recovery has been great!!!!

    I've been massaging since about 1 week out! U feel those hard little bumps under incision ?? That's the tissue healing... Forming scar tissue!! The massaging will help the formation if scar tissue!! I kinda donut all day long but especially at night n in morning while I am laying in bed!! Do circles, left to right, up n down! Use some pressure but obviously not too much that u are in pain! I try to massage whole stomach getting deep to muscle! Once my incisions are completely closed ( no more scabs)I will pop a Vitamin e capsule n massage with that!! U can use any lotion( Vitamin e n coco butter are really good) but not untill a few weeks out!!!

    Wondering what your Dr. said when you saw him/her? How long did your pain last? Did you try the Spanx with any results? I am experiencing the same pain and it's extreme at times. Thanks for your input!

    So I just saw dr! She said it was an internal stitch that it could take up to a month to completely dissolve! I'm 3 weeks out and she said to keep massaging it!!! I have not tried the spanks yet but may when I return to work on Monday!!

    It's eased up a bit but I see dr tomorrow!!! I'm thinking its totally muscular / or an inside stitch! I complained 1 week out and she said I was just healing! Will let u know for sure tomorrow!!!! Hope yours gets better as well!!! :)

    May have to try that! I don't have anything left to jiggle lol :) I go back to work next week and worry about having to bend and maneuver in awkward positions! Maybe one of those belts or spans will help! I work in an operating room in a major trauma center!! All of my co workers know about the surgery cause I'm gonna need help ( lifting etc) hmmmm hopefully I don't have to perform CPR any time soon!!!

    Maybe tell them each separately! Group settings aren't always the "easiest" ! Ur send a mass text saying hey guys come on out and enjoy my last " big boy" meal .... Then when they reply ????? Say well I big boy (girl lol) pants on and finally decided to put my future as my #1 priority... I'm Having surgery!

    I'm one if those people that really didn't care if people knew I was having surgery!! At first I was but then I figured hey who gives a sh** I'm doin thus for me and me only! Don't care if people don't agree or become negative about it! They r gonna see how little I eat and realize something is up... So In my thinking screw it and be upfront!!!!

    What ever u choose I wish u the best of luck!!!

    Not my gallbladder and not when I breath in! It's site specific! When I saw my surgeon 1 wk post op she said I was healing! I called and they said she would check it out thurs! I'm def not doubled over in pain although moving wrong way it is sharp/stabbing/burning! Probably an internal stitch! Just wondering if anyone else has had similar issue!

    Is it hot? has it begun to drain? Change color?

    Mine hurt for awhile on that side' date=' and it would come and go a bit...I think mine was from where that is the larget hole they make, it is where the stomach is removed from, and also they tacked my stitch up a bit high.[/quote']

    Not hot, almost completely healed no change in color! It's not where the dr removed stomach ( I asked at my 1 week post op visit) almost feels like its gotten worse! How long did yours hurt for? I see my surgeon thurs for 3 week post op but debating whether to call her today instead of waiting! I dunno arggggg lol.
