Painful Incision

[Meliss80 1]

Hey guys, I had procedure 1/19/17. I've done well; however sent home with no pain meds, just Tylenol Again, I've managed BUT my main left surgical incision is wider than others and still having moderate pain. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

My incision in my belly button still hurts after 7 days. When I had my follow up with my doc he said "it should. It's the largest one and that's where I pulled your stomach out." He told me to just take it easy and follow the steps he outlined and it will ease. I think others in here have mentioned ice or heat packs to soothe it. Maybe try those?

I had the same. Its the incision where the stomach is removed. If it carries on being painful it might be good to call your team and let them know so that they can put your mind at rest.

Congratulations on the surgery and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
