    I was itchy all over while I was in the hospital. I got some IV benadryl and it helped me to sleep through the pain too. I agree with the other posters though, if you are this far out it is probably the incisions healing.

    Like everybody else said - itchy is good! It definitely means healing. Just don't scratch it hard LOL. You don't want to open an incision and get an infection. Just put a blanket or something over your belly and then rub on top of your incisions with your knuckles. It helped me some. It will go away soon! :P
