Ok everyone I have a question... I had surgery 9/12/16 and I am feeling great except for a pain I am still having below one of my incisions, it's a sharp pain that burns when I bend or move a certain way.. now I know it's from surgery and it's just a healing pain bc I remember have something similar to it after my C-Section.... but this one is lasting longer and seems to hurt more.... Any ideas I can do to help with the pain????

It's always a good idea to check with your surgeon just to be safe. I believe this is normal though - it's probably the incision that they removed your stomach from.

Yep that's the incision, they told me it's normal I am just trying to find something that helps with the pain...

Told us today 1 week post op it's normal and last quite a while. There is one incision they have to make deeper and cut through muscle. They sew it up from the inside out.

Let me know if you find something that helps with this problem or if it just has to go away on its on.

I had the same thing and I used a waist binder so when I was moving around, it wouldn't stretch and pull causing the burning/tearing feeling.

An ice pack helps me, it kinda numbs the area.

I have the same feeling by where the stomach was removed. It even seems a little red. I had surgery on 10/5. And I do feel like I'm going to hurt something every time I get up! Can't wait for this phase to end
