I'm 6 days out & I still have the most pain on my left side, too. They must do something major over there! Everyone seems to be complaining about that side! Mine isn't hard, though. Is it a small area around the incision? A large area? Hot? Red? If it's hot and or red I would definitely call the ER today.

It shouldn't be hard. You should get that checked as soon as possible.

A hard area around the incisions is normal....its called a healing ridge. I feel like I have 7 large marbles under my skin. My most painful incision is on the right but I think it is where my gallbladder was removed during the operation.

Left side is where the heavy equipment goes through and they really tork on our muscles-this is how my surgeon explained it. The area was hard for a bit for me too and I figured it was scar tissue as this can happen after surgery. It has since become normal and no longer hard.

I have the hard little bumps around all of my incisions too but just keep an eye on it and get it checked out if it continues to hurt. Someone else had the same thing going on on this board ( I can't remember who) and it turned out to be something serious. Be aware and make sure you get checked out if it doesn't start to feel better soon! Might be worth a call to your surgeon anyway.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
