MeMeMEEE 206 Posted August 16, 2011 my left lower incision which appears to be the largest feels numb and tingly around it. it is definitely the most tender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynn225 0 Posted August 16, 2011 Large incision is on my left side, but the pain is below it about 2-3 inches or below the belly button on the left side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissBliss 29 Posted August 16, 2011 I am 2 weeks out today and I have an occasional burning sensation below my largest incision. Glad to hear I am not the only one. I just assume that that was the incision that took the most abuse and needs the most TLC! Can't wait for these silly incisions to heal!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewLife2011 13 Posted August 16, 2011 If you're worried about pain and especially if you have swelling please contact your doctor immediately! Rather overreact than underreact - if there is nothing wrong, great, at least you have peace of mind. If there is something wrong (God forbid) the sooner you get it taken care of the better! Good luck and let us know how things go... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
christina420 3 Posted August 16, 2011 Has anyone ever experienced any pain and burning type sensation about 3 inches below the large incision. I don't know if this is where the pouch is located. Feels a little swollen. I am two weeks post of. Do not worry it a totally normal. I went to doctor cuz I thought maybe I tore something it hurt so bad. It's where they had to cut thru muscle together to tummy. I am 2 months out and it is still soar. Not much pain anymore like before, but tender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynn225 0 Posted August 17, 2011 Thanks all, kept me from worrying too much til I got in touch with my surgeon's assistant. She said I probably twisted or turned quickly or wrong and possibly tore scar tissue or upset a muscle. She said to apply heating pad and it should settle back down in the next couple of days. Said to take Tylenol or pain med's. I had got a little brave because I was doing so good ( drove three hours, been in small pool working legs, doing WII) You just get to where you feel so good. Don't knoew if it is the diet, losing a little weight, or just pumped up and excited about losing the weight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
