23 Days Post Op

Today marks my 23rd day post op. All has been well so far, trying to take as much fluids and nutrients as I can.

Question, the are under my biggest incision, to the left of my torso, hurts sometimes. Its mild and I feel it mostly when I lie on my left side or sneeze. Is this normal?

I'm getting paranoid thinking they might have forgot something there. Lol.

Hi...

Most likely is scar tissue. I do not have any big incisions, mine are very small. I have always made sure it was clean and rinsed well.

If the pain was more on the right side, I would worry about Gallbladder. But left side, most likely just scar tissue and healing process.

I totally agree it is more than likely nothing serious, but its always a good thing to give your surgeon a call if you are ever in doubt.

I'm 23 days out as well and my left side definitely is definitely more tender than my right. This morning I was doing a light workout including some ab twists. My right side, no issue. Left side, a bit sore. I'm also more comfortable lying on my right side than left.
