I am almost 3 weeks out & still have a significant amout of pain but only in one spot which feels like where my belly is. Any suggestions?

Me too. I have it in 2 spots, actually.

One is in the stomach area, one is the large incision on the other side where they pulled my stomach out.

It aches, it burns, stabs me when I move or stretch, or if I walk too fast or hard (and my tummy bounces).

But every day gets a tiny bit better.

(I'm 2.75 weeks post op)

Unless it's emitting puss, red or warm to the touch, ride it out. It took me about 3.5 weeks before I was completely pain free and the surgeon says that's about average.

I do have an infection in one of my incisions. This pain i'm feeling is within 4 inches of that but also where my stomach is located which is why i was wondering about the leak.

It does hurt to walk, laugh, talk etc but i've noticed after i eat/drink its worse.

I worried about a leak too.

Some signs are intense pain, fever, chills, and feeling terrible. Some people on here have had leaks.

Just based in what you've said here, your pain sounds like mine. But of course, trust your doctor before some girl on the internet!!

Nope, but like you, the pain made me nervous.

I go to see my dr tomorrow - he wont release me for work until he sees my infection so im going to ask then. Fingers crossed for NO LEAK!
