I am 6 days post op and my main incision still hurts. I still have to take a hydrocodone to take the edge off ... it doesn't look infected, it actually looks great but it stings and hurts once the meds wear off ... anyone else have this problem? I have a Dr appointment tomorrow so if I should be concerned I can bring it up.

I still had a good deal of pain getting in and out of bed at one week (with no meds). I didn't really poke my incisions ever, but gently poked away from the incisions and I had pain just above the navel at rest to fingertip pressure. All of that gradually went away - felt pretty good at 2 weeks and nearly normal at 3 weeks.

Yes. When I wake up and have to get up is when it hurts the most. At least I know someone else had the same.

That makes sense - your abs tighten up like a drum when you get in and out of bed, and in the morning it's been maybe 7hrs since you took a pain pill so that's probably largely worn off....
