Stinging pain on left side?

[Elyse519 23]

So wow has this surgery been a big change! I finally talk to my doctor about the pain on my left side near my largest incision, he said it is normal and should happen. Now I am experiencing a stinging pain in my lower belly around the big incision, it happens if I sit or bend down. Does anyone know what this means? Or had this happened to them?

It is likely the nerves growing back together from where they cut through your tissues.
