Okay so this may sound crazy but i am 9 days post op. I went into surgery expecting regularly incisions, and when i woke up i only had one through my belly which i was confused as well as ecstatic! But i dont know if this is healing correctly or if its scabbing right or if is infection (no puss no ooze, just very hard scabs which causes pain when i sit down) i was just wondering if anyone has had a single incision through the navel and if so, is this normal?

I had a single incision on 01/09/17 through my bellybutton as well! Though, I didn't experience any pain whatsoever on or around my incision. Here's a picture of what my incision looked like post surgery. You can barely tell, lol. So I'm not surprised I didn't feel any pain. That skinny black line at the bottoms of my bellybutton, is the incision. Oh! & I didn't experience scanning! But everyone is different. I only experienced flaking glue that fell off on its own.post-309185-14863141112497_thumb.jpg

Thank you! I will talk to my doctor and see why the scabbing is causing me pain. Wish you luck on your journey

I had pain at my primary incision site due to internal stitch healing, I bet your doctor will say this is very normal 9 days is a short time

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
