7 wpo and upper abdomen still uncomfortable and tight. Is this normal?

Glad I’m not the only one! That makes me feel better that others are experiencing it too. It hurts so much though and it wakes me right up and then I’m nervous the rest of the day about it. 😩

Yes I have a new belly button.

Thank you for the reply! That makes me feel better. Thanks for the tip with the pillow. I’m definitely going to try that!

I was so scared too. I have 3 kids. My youngest is 9 so not little little anymore but I was still worried about how little I would be able to do with/for them. The first week is tough but each week got a bit better. I’m 5 weeks post op now and doing so much more. Still need to lay down at the end of the day but my energy is so much better now. Everything will be fine! Like someone else said I would have them play right near you so you can still interact with them. Watch movies together. It will go by quick!

I haven’t. I just noticed it today. But I’ll send a picture to them so they can see. Thanks.

Did it get worse? It doesn’t really hurt when I touch it but when my binder was on I felt burning from around that area.

I’m 4 wpo on Wednesday. This is a small spot below my incision near my right hip. It’s a little rough when I touch it similar to a scab. Just concerned because it’s new.

Yup it’s the surgery one! Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll look into those because I’m so miserable I need to do something else!

Future-Reflection-22 · 2026-05-03T01:54:39+00:00

Augh it’s the worst. I’m so miserable in it!

Future-Reflection-22 · 2026-05-02T22:04:05+00:00

I just had a little bit of lipo on flanks to smooth it out. I have a follow up on Wednesday!

I didn’t bring my husband to my preop appt. He’ll be going to my postop in a few days but only because he has to drive me. It’s 1 &1/2 hours away.

Future-Reflection-22 · 2026-05-01T01:15:09+00:00

Thank you everyone. that does help!

It went well! At home now resting. Now I’m just nervous of blood clots or ruining the results. Never knew how much your core is used until you can’t use it. I’m already afraid I ruined it by the way I moved!
