Incision pain

glamourpussplus · March 21, 2011

Hey everyone, my name is Denise I heard great things about this site. I just joined tonight! I had my surgery on the 17th. This went well. I do have the shoulder pain. The thing that is bothering me the most is one of my incisions are badly bruised and hurting. Idk if this is normal? My dr office is not open until tomorrow so I have just been dealing with it. The incision itself is healing but it felt like it was in fire underneath it. Is this something that happens?? Also have been getting pains in my calfs, im thinking prob because of the lack of nutrients? If anyone has any suggestions lmk. Thanks so much!!

Hi,

Call your doc in the morning. Redness and an incision feeling hot should be looked at.

Are you drinking your Water? Sip sip sip all day long.

It gets better every day. Best wishes.

I had surgery on the 15th and have a huge bruise around the port and all of my incisions hurt, itch and are driving me crazy. Just watch for extreme redness, a little red is normal, yellow or green discharge......otherwise, I was told this is all normal and if you google image the term "lap band incisions" you will se some other people have the bruise
