Hi Lyndyjo. Congrats on your surgery. I am 11 days out and have not had anything like that happening. But call your doctor and let them know. It's best to let them know ALL your concerns. Good luck.

I had that. Didn't start til about 2 wks out and lasted for about 2 wks. VERY painful pulling when I would sit down for the bathroom more than any other time for some reason... it did go away, but not soon enough! binder definitely helped me - I always had it on when I was doing housework.

I think it has to do with nerves reattaching or something - never asked my surgeon because by the time I saw him again after it started, it had stopped.

That's the most tender area bc that's where all the work was done. I too had a tightness/pulling that hurt if I tried to stand upright fully. It wasn't severe and doc said it was normal. It went away by 4 weeks out

I am 9 days out and I too have experienced it. Its a bizarre feeling because when you look at your belly there are no incisions there!!
