One Month Out Tomorrow And My Incisions Still Kinda Hurt... :(

[Magsnlucy 10]

Not all of them, but my biggest one right above my belly button. It's a little red around the edges but I can tell its not infected. DISCLAMER*** I have had stuff oozing out of it for about a week but a friend of mine who is an NP said its called a seroma and it should be fine. What's worse of all is the irritation a have from the bandages!! Omg so red and irritated I almost can't have my much looser shirts (lol) rub up against them. I have read stuff about people having pain for a few weeks but a month!? I don't need my pain meds, it's not that bad but it still hurts. Help!!

I'm 3 weeks out and my incisions are sore. I have stitches still inside my belly button and on my right one. My large one doesn't look to bad but it still hurts. I am losing nicely and I lost a ton of inches all over but my belly is 2 inches bigger than it was on May 25th. I had surgery on June 4th.

I hope it starts feeling better soon.

Did you have steri-strips? Those caused an allergic reaction for me and I had itchy red bumps that made me nuts!! Doc had me put Neosporin on the incisions though and that seems to have helped.

my surgeon told me that the big one will hurt more thats the one they pulled the stomach out of. so he said i will have more pain on the right

I had steri-strips but I am still surprised 3 weeks later that I actually have stitches. I hope it doesn't hurt to take out. My stomach is weirdly sensitive to a light touch or clothing.
