  1. I struggled with this pain the whole time until about 6 weeks....the only thing that helped was lying completely flat or as flat as possible to take the pressure off the stitches and let them heal. I would lay flat as much as I could and I also wore a stomach band for the full 6 weeks....tight to secure my muscles from moving....it helped so much! But it took me the full 6 weeks to finally heal....I was so sure I had ripped something or my surgeon messed up somewhere.....good luck
  2. IM 3 WEEKS POST OP and still have pain in my biggest incision...everything is healed up but when I make certian moves or go from laying to standing..I want 2 scream bcuz of this sharp pain....I mean is this normal or am I just being a freak out crazy over eager cry baby?
