I managed to take a shower. But from getting undressed to taking the binder off took me about 2 hours. My right incision which is close to my belly button burns and hurts so bad. Binder helps but still really painful. I can't wait for this pain to be gone. I literally stand still for about 10 minutes when I get a sharp stab of pain. I have a little bit of a rash on my belly. Wondering if that's normal. But I did I showered and got dresses.

How far post-op are you? Make sure there is no yellow or green drainage and that it does not smell. It could be a sign of infection. If so please call your doctor or go to the ER. Good Luck

I had the same pain and rash. I had a reaction to the solution they wash the belly off with before surgery. It's yellow and the rash was exactly every place they washed and stopped on my sides. The pain at the sight of the biggest incision on my right really hurt and I couldn't stand up strait. It was 2 full weeks that it hurt, each day after was less and less. 3 weeks almost normal. My Dr said that's where they take a really big stitch on the inside and it's normal. Hang in there it's so worth it!!! I'm 12 weeks now and I'm half way to my goal... Down 48 lbs it's awesome!!!
