Pain/cramp In Incision Above Belly Button.

Sleeved on 4/10/12 and having a pain or muscle cramp in the incision above belly button. I know this is where the belly was removed but wondering if this is from healing or something else. Not enough discomfort for medication but annoying nonetheless.

Anyone else experience this 2 weeks post op??

I experienced the worst pain in that same area. If you think about it - Thats the area that suffered the most trauma during surgery. I found that it helped to just hold that area when getting up or doing anything that bothered it. Apply some pressure - it helped me a lot. I didnt need anything like a pillow although some do use one. It's totally normal to be sore!

Yup- this particular incision is my singular pain right now.

I saw Bridesmaids on DVD last night and had to take several breaks throughout cause I was laughing so hard my large incision site was actually really PAINFUL!

Ive heard its the abdominal muscle repairing itself. Its a large muscle and will be sore for a while. Like Stacey Nicole, I find that putting slight pressure on it helps.
