Hi!

I don't know if I'm just panicking or if it is normal, but sometimes when I have been sitting for quite a while when I stand and stretch into a normal standing position I feel I slight tugging/pulling sensation in my lower abdomen--it is a good 4-5 inches away from one of the laparoscopic scars I have on my lower right side. I tried googling it and all I can find is that it is either gas, or a stretched/strained muscle healing. It does feel similar to when you have a strained calf muscle and it sort of wiggles around until it heals, but it is still making me stress. I'm just hoping that others have felt it too, and I'm not experiencing some sort of detached intestine situation, here.

My surgery was almost 2 months ago, so far everything has been progressing and healing perfectly except for that odd feeling that has happened once or twice.

Really?!

I can deal with scar tissue...scar tissue doesn't stress me out as much as a potential rogue intestine floating around.

Thanks :)
