One Month Out Tomorrow And My Incisions Still Kinda Hurt... :(

Not all of them, but my biggest one right above my belly button. It's a little red around the edges but I can tell its not infected. DISCLAMER*** I have had stuff oozing out of it for about a week but a friend of mine who is an NP said its called a seroma and it should be fine. What's worse of all is the irritation a have from the bandages!! Omg so red and irritated I almost can't have my much looser shirts (lol) rub up against them. I have read stuff about people having pain for a few weeks but a month!? I don't need my pain meds, it's not that bad but it still hurts. Help!!

    Did you have steri-strips? Those caused an allergic reaction for me and I had itchy red bumps that made me nuts!! Doc had me put Neosporin on the incisions though and that seems to have helped.

I'm 3 weeks out and my incisions are sore. I have stitches still inside my belly button and on my right one. My large one doesn't look to bad but it still hurts. I am losing nicely and I lost a ton of inches all over but my belly is 2 inches bigger than it was on May 25th. I had surgery on June 4th.

I hope it starts feeling better soon.

I had steri-strips but I am still surprised 3 weeks later that I actually have stitches. I hope it doesn't hurt to take out. My stomach is weirdly sensitive to a light touch or clothing.
