twitching and spasms at incision sites



Recommended Posts

8 full days after being banded, my port site incision is still a bit sore. The rest are okay, a bit itchy though sometimes. However, sometimes I get some pretty serious spasms and twitches in the incisions that kind of hurt a little.

anyone experience this kind of behavior ?

I've had a few of those. Feels weird. Not so much painful, as it is unexpected. I think it's your system adjusting to the band being there. After I few days I didn't feel them anymore. If it's a problem, you may want to call your surgeon's office and ask them what's up with it.

I found wearing the restricting band they put on me after surgery was really uncomfortable after a few days, because the hair on my stomach area was starting to grow back. I was getting a razor itch kind of thing. Removing the restricting band and give my incisions "air time" helped a lot. After a few days that also subsided. Now, if I wear the restrictive band, I put a t-shirt on under it.

I'm 5 weeks post op from getting port revised. I get massive iching and spasms at port and incisions, but, is getting better day at a time. I notice that when I exercise I tend to get the spasms. Ice helps. I also notice that the itching gets really bad with gas in the belly. GaxX or mylanta helps with this. It gets extremely frustrating. Hang in there. Jake

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
