5 weeks post op

[Ru8yred]

hello ! I’m nearly 5 weeks post op, walking around but exhausted still. All my incision sites have healed nicely, but it feels like the inside still hasn’t.

My whole like abdomen and lower abdomen area still feels tight and sore. It’s still swollen and so bloated, and the incision sites feel kinda hard and sore to push ? Is that normal ? I don’t have any weird symptoms so I figured it’s not infected or anything. I still can’t do up any of my trousers so walking around and returning to ‘normal’ is really hard.

Any wisdom or advice much appreciated x

Good morning,

Please feel assured that's how it was for me too.

It took me 12 weeks to get out of leggings and track bottoms for a pair of jeans.

I was off 10 weeks from work, as I struggled with anything physically and was asleep most of the day. Everything exhausted me.

With the feeling you may have in your stomach, I was told that was possibly the nerve ends being damaged from the incisions/ op. This should go away.

Hope this helps. Xx

completely normal. I am 10 weeks post op and I still have tightness in my lower abdomen. I could not wear normal trousers until about week 6/7 post op and even then it could be uncomfortable. I still have some bloating on occasion. I was always told it takes 3 months for your insides to heal.

Take your time you are getting there
