Kinda!!! Lol thanks for asking! Still hurts if I move wrong/ bend wrong! But def getting better!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

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!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

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!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Aren't they the best!!! Can't wait to run with her!!! Believe me she can't wait either!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

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!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

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!!!

Have u tried the chewable or gummie Vitamins? I take a sublingual Vitamin b, 2 gummie multiple, and 2 chewable calcium! I get them from costco . They fill me up !

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!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

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!
