Almost 3 Weeks Out

Ok, so I'll be 3 weeks Monday & I'm feeling this tugging/ tighten feeling mainly on/ down my side's is this part of the healing process (is it the stitches)? I've never had surgery before &/or stitches so I'm not sure what's going on? I'm so confused...

This was my first surgery also, so I understand what you mean! I also had tugging feelings, mainly on my left side. For me it went away around the 5th week. It would be a great idea to ask your doctor if what YOU are feeling is normal, but it does sound a lot like what I had. Good luck to you.

Yep, totally normal! Try wearing some control top undies. That was a lifesaver for me having something "hold" my stomach in place.

My surgeon told me that there are stitches inside that have things pulled tight, and thus I have one spot that looks dented in and he said eventually that stitch will dissolve and that spot will look smooth again and that is also where the pulling feeling comes from.
