Port Incision Painful and Hard



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow will be one week since I had my surgery and I'm still very sore around my incisions and I'm having a little back pain. I have 4 incisions, 3 little ones and a one right above my belly button to the right a little that's about an inch wide. My strips are still on and was told that they would come off on their own.

Went back to work today it was ok but I feel more sore than I had been, probably from getting in and out of my chair all day.

Good luck with your recovery!!

I too was told by my doctor that this will take for some of us even into a year to completely heal! wow I didn't see that coming. but it is what it is.

as long as its not red, hot to touch, or oozing and you don't have a fever I'm sure this too will pass!

everyday the journey gets better!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
