Anyone Have Sensitivity By Cuts



Recommended Posts

I am 3 1/2 months out and doing great. One issue I am having is the sensitivity on my belly where they cut me. At times it even hurts when I touch it. Is anyone having these issues? Is this normal after this amount of time?

I have no sensitivity with mine but scars are known to be that way for a long time on some people. I dont know about the hurting part, maybe call the doc and find out for sure what he thinks.

I'm 10 weeks out. Mine aren't really sensitive but there have been two instances while I was asleep I woke up because they were burning. It felt like I was being sliced open.

I have sensitivity on the skin above my biggest cut. It's more of an annoyance than any pain really, kind of like chaffed skin I guess or heat rash feeling. Drives me nuts when my clothes are on it. 2 weeks out, hope it goes away, but if not I will live with it :)

Jenny that's is exactly what I'm talking about. You described it much better then I did. My skin was sensitive to heat before the surgery more then the average person so I'm wondering if that's the reason here too.

lol, I have been trying to describe it to my husband for 2 weeks that is the best I could come up with. My doc said it was just my nerves responding in that area because that is where he did "the work" through so it had more "damage" to recover from.

The area around the incisions was really sensitive for a few months after surgery just as was described (burning/cutting), but now almost two years later it's just not an issue at all. I do, however, have some residual numbness near my bellybutton, but I don't notice it unless I'm actively touching the area.

      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'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
