Still sore

[lilbenny]

Hi everyone, I am a new member to the community an am looking for some answers..

I had Laparoscopy surgery 2 weeks 2 days ago, was my first surgery so not sure on what to expect after. I have had pains since an now where they have entered from (in the belly button) has been a little w and still very uncomfortable. its like when i roll over somethings unsticking and sends a sharp pain through...

Is this normal?

I can’t tell you if it’s normal or not (I had my first laparoscopy on Thursday) but it does take much longer than you think to heal fully - it will take months before you’re healed properly internally and 2 weeks really isn’t very long in the grand scheme of things!

I found my belly button wound very uncomfortable. I'd get a tugging pain on standing up. Don't forget they cut through stomach muscle so it takes time (about 3 months) to heal internally even once the outside is better. I'm finally at that point now and 99% of the weird pain has stopped. 2 weeks isn't long really. Give it time
