Incision Pain?

Hey Gang,

For the past few days, the top of my incision has been hurting.  Not constantly, but when something rubs against it.  Even if just a bed sheet or my shirt.  But, the pain isn't constant.  It comes and goes.  I noticed that it was a little red yesterday, but just chalked it up to my bra rubbing up against it moreso than usual.

Has anyone else had this issue?  Is it normal?  I go see my surgeon tomorrow for a check-up... I will definitely ask him about it.

Thanks for any input you can provide.

ETA:  I'm 7 weeks out.

Hey DO,

Some do have te same complaint.  Is it oozing or red?  I would most def speak to the doc.  Let me know...I'm sure all's well.

Hi,

I'm hoping you feel better now.  What did the doctor say?  Do you have any infection?

Sometime this forum gets slow.  You can go on the surgical forum for RNY gastric bypass and ask questions too.  I go back and forth because as time passes, I notice the date forums get slower.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

I saw him today.  No infection!  He said it looks fine.  I've increased my activity recently -- he says it's normal for the muscles to pull as a result.

Thanks for the support!

that's great news.  Even 10 weeks out I still question so many things and wonder if I am "normal"!! I guess I am (although my husband begs to differ!). 
He had surgery 1 year ago and it is like we had 2 different surgeries.  Everything I am going through he didn't go through at all, and vice versa so I am really glad to have this site for support.
