9 Months Past Panniculectomy

[SaRose 18]

Hi Everyone

I had a panniculectomy done in December to remove my excess skin on my abdomen.

I am wondering if anyone else has had this and still 9 months later had significant pain when wearing a belt, or jeans that fit just right? It is not instant, but within an hour or two of wearing something around my waist that's a little tight, I have significant inner abdominal pain.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Thanks,

Sarah

Is the pain around the incision or somewhere else?

Yes, it is definitely around the scar, but the pain does travel right along the initial incision site/scar. I just had hoped that almost 10 months later I would be able to wear jeans without this significant pain.
