Yeah, that itching is maddening, isn't it? My doctor told me to use topical Benadryl.

Good luck!

I was itching a couple days ago too. I seem to have passed that phase, and now have odd stabs of pain. To be honest, it is starting to freak me out a little bit. For the most part, I haven't had any pain at my incisions since my surgery on 9/1, but then today, I keep getting odd pinching pains at my port area. Sometimes it is when I am moving, but it was also happening when I was literally just sitting at my desk reading an email. Is that just a part of healing?

I'm one week out tomorrow too and the itchy belly has finally gone away for me. Yippee!! I still have an itchy rash on my face though that I think is a reaction to the pain meds or something used at the hospital.... Heading back to work Wednesday so I hope all the itching is gone by then.

Well at least we all have commanlity so must be normal!! Of course I don't feel normal...hehehehe. I had a full hysterectomy a few years ago and experienced nothing like this! I just wish it didn't feel like I was having a heart attack sometimes! Night all!!!!!

I am 10 days post op, and am starting to feel more noticeable pain too. I feel like something is going to pop out of my main incision.

I've had a hard time getting comfortable in bed--the first few nights I slept like a LOG! Now I toss and turn and hubby says I whimper a little.....and yes, ITCHY! My bandages are still stuck on, I tried to peel one off and it made me cringe, so I left it as is.

Hope you feel better soon, Itchy Belly

Haha hope everyone slept well last night! I'm going back to work today and just thinking about it is giving me a panic attack. I didn't sleep well and I hate going hack to work after being out....on top of everything else.....ugh....

I am 18 days post op, and I can say from experience that the itching lasted about 5 days the sitting @ my desk at work had me with sharp pains too for about 4 days then that too stopped.

when I eat or drink I too feel like something is going to pop out of my main incision. - I guess this is norm.

I am now able to sleep on my tummy comfortable in bed- actually have picked up a nice excercise routine with no pain. (walking on treadmill and light weights) 3 x's a week 30 mins each x.

It does get better I promise! remember this is our healing stage

Now I want to see the scale move but so far I am happy with the inches coming off.
