In cession

I'm 4 days after surgery and the big in cession hurts so bad when I walk or breath ...is there anything I can do for it to heal faster...and its like in dented in ...help

JUST heard about this in my pre op class last Thursday. The dent is from how they stitch you up after they pull your stomache through that spot. It will all even out eventually....

As for the pain. I would just keep walking and don't get behind on your pain meds. Muscles tense and tighten when rested. KEEP MOVING! Good luck!!

Thank u

My "dent" hurt for while to the point I called my doctor because I believed that there must be something wrong! But he kinda laughed and said "you just had surgery a few weeks ago what do you expect." Always check and take your pain medications! Get well soon.

My big one is indented and is the most sore of all of them. I was sleeved on 6/9. I was hoping to drop the OxyContin today, but I gave in. Will try again tomorrow.

It hurts for me too especially when I breathe. I was told it was normal

10 days out and I'm still hurting- Amazed hearing how many people are out and about after a few days at restaurants and comedy clubs- Wish I felt that good!!

Wow I'm having the same problem the pain is killing me

Sea salt (can buy at the dollar store) and warm water in a spray bottle...

I do it before my shower and actually let it dry, then take my shower! I was also scared a week after surgery, when the nurse took my staples out and my little fur baby jumped on me! (It blead, so I just knew I was in trouble) so, went to dads to get some peroxide, and he told me what to do... He still doesn't know what kind of surgery I had. But he did say salt water would give you less of a scar...

Sounds good and works for me ????????

I put an ice pack on my big cut, it helped and also didn't have to take pains meds because ice numbed it:)

11 days out and my big one feels like I'm ripping muscle from it to my belly button everyone I move to quickly toward that side. I know it's because it's healing but geeze it hurts. The dent does start to smooth out. Mines almost gone.

I am 8 weeks out. My left incision was really painful as as well. My doc prescribed pain patches that helped. Also I bought a binder. That was a big help because that took some of the strain off the cut abdomen muscles. I highly recommend getting one. At 3 weeks my left stitch popped out and I felt much better. Hope you feel better soon.
