When will the big incision pain go away? I am 6 days post op and I can't walk without holding my stomach. I tried a Belly band but it hurts worse. Anyone have this experience and how long did it last for you? Thank you for any help.

I don't know. I'm 8 days out and wondering the same. I don't feel just soreness that most have talked about. It hurts - a lot! I also feel every sip going through my system - I sure hope that stops!

I had the same pain and would also hold my stomach when I walked. My pain lasted 2 weeks until I was able to stand up straight instead of hunched over. I still feel the pain if I over do it or bend over a lot which I am not supposed to do either. Best of luck

For the first few weeks, my main suture also kept getting pinched by the waistband of my work pants and making huge bruises. I'm about 12 weeks out now and can't remember exactly when it stopped hurting, maybe around week 5 or 6.
