Loose Skin Stetching Incision Healing

Before surgery (3.5 weeks ago), I already had loose skin on my stomach from previous weight loss.

As my largest incision has been healing, it freaking KILLS when my loose skin moves around. Like knives jabbing me. I have seen stars. I can feel the pulling inside.

My surgeon says it's normal healing pain. Uuugh. I hope once all the stitches are dissolved, it won't hurt. How long do they take??

For now, I have my stomach taped up and I'm wearing a bella band from when I was pregnant. It helps A LOT to keep things from jiggling!!
