Wonder if any others here had pain like I had...

I'm one month post-op.

Surprisingly, I had NO pain in my gut and NO pain post-op regarding the CO2 Gas that everyone warns about.

It does NOT hurt to press down on my gut or anything like that.

HOWEVER, I have had the ANNOYING pain and/or discomfort of painful sensitivity around the scars and numbness the lower abdomen away from the scars for some reason. I've always been quite ticklish and the surface of my skin has always been somewhat sensitive to the touch so maybe that is playing into this.

In any event, if I take my hand and gently rub my tummy it actually Hurts. My shirt rubbing my tummy also is quite annoying. BUT BUT, if press down or squeeze it does NOT hurt.

Go figure.

Yes! I am 3 weeks post op and have the EXACT same feeling. It is just as you described...like a numbness that is annoying when my shirt touches it but doesn't hurt when the doctor actually presses on it. If it is happening to both of us, then I would like to think that it is normal.

Cool, I was sure I wasn't the only one.
