Feeling tightness every time I move - 3days post op

[2_tee 7]

So I have been home for a little over a day now and I'm trying to move as much as possible to get the gas out.

But every time I go to stand up I fee like my entire stomach area were the incisions are super tight and then slowly lose that feeling once I start walking around. Also the area were they pulled out the drain is still leaking.

I called the dr and basically told me that is all normal, but I wanted to see if anyone may have experienced something like this.

I got my surgery done on the 24th and I still have leakage from the drain tube too, and it looks pretty nasty, but I am told that is normal. I just keep a bandage on it. I also feel very tight after sitting or waking up and then loosen up as I walk around. Good luck to you!

Had mine the 23, this is normal, about 3 days from now it will be less. The area you describe is where they made 4 or 5 incisions and on the left is where they pulled your stomach out.

It's normal for it to feel tight. It will take weeks until you feel no tightness in your trunk but the pain will be much less very soon.
