Sore/painful Incisions 3 Weeks Out

[newskinnygal 51]

I had my gallbladder taken out about 2 1/2 weeks

weeks ago, I was supposed to have my lapband placed but my gallbladder was acutely inflamed and too bad to have my lapband put in. So long story short haha, I have lapband incisions plus gallbladder incision but no actual lapband. I have two incisions that hurt really bad. They just started today. The big scar, maybe thats the port scar? And the one that is to to the left and under the port scar. They aren't red and nothing seems to be coming out of them. But they hurt like crazy, especially when I walk, sit, etc. anyone else experience this?! Thank you in advance for listening to me! I don't know what I would do without my lovely support group from lapband talk! Xoxo

I've heard that this is pretty normal as the incisions heal.

I honestly didn't think this surgery would effect me the way it did. I've had a very slow healing process and im about to have lapband surgery next week. I can't imagine going through all this again. All I can hope for is a healthier me in the long run.

I am 1 month out today, had my surgery on July 3rd. I was fine up until last week and was pain free, when suddenly I woke up last Monday with a lot of pain in my abdomen. I could not move without it hurting. But its slowly faded over the past week, now I have very little pain. My doc said that I might have overdone it as well and pulled on my internal stitches.

So glad to hear that your pain went away! I hope mine does soon! I feel you on the bending and twisting, I definitely cannot do either or. Thank you so much for your reply.

So when doctors say we "overdid it", what exactly do they mean?
