All my new incisions are midline and to the left side. My old gall bladder incision from 1973 is from my midline down along my right ribcage. The third from the top new incision is right on top of the end of the old scar. Why does my old scar hurt four inches away from there? It stings, but it is only skin deep. I thought all the action was over there on the left side and if instruments strayed off the dance floor, it would hurt UNDER that old scar, not on top.

Just musings from someone who had her Click a little too late in the afternoon today...

Maybe as you lose weight and your skin begins to sag and pull a little its tugging on the skin around the scar?

I have so many weird aches and pains and twinges all over my stomach. Even down lower where I was giving myself the lovenox shots... there's an area that is always bothering me! I don't question it.. just deal with it. LOL!

This is just a guess, but maybe when they pumped all the gas in your stomach, it stretched some old scar tissue under the scar, creating a sore spot.

Almost sounds like some sort of nerve damage, maybe something got hit or nicked and it is trying to heal or grow back. But I duno this is just a guess. You should ask about it the next time you go see your doc

Thanks for your suggestions, ladies! I have lost weight before and not had this pain and certainly haven't lost enough this time for any sag. The expansion of my belly during surgery sounds the most likely since scar tissue doesn't stretch very well.

I tried putting vitamin e oil on it but it hasn't helped so far. <sigh>
