Wow it's a busy morning today on this board, lots of goods and bads happenning.

Just wondering if anyones been dealing with this issue.  4 weeks out from a LBL and if I turn over wrong or stretch a little too far I get sharp pains in my side above the incision that literally feels like I openned a stitch or openned the incision.  I look at there's nothing that I can see.

3 weeks out and I get that, too. I'm trying not to reach too far to prevent it from happening. I do worry I'll bust a stitch!

I had a TT and I get the pains too.  According to the paperwork my surgeon gave me, this is normal and is part of the healing process.  It is the nerves, that were cut during surgery, setting up new connections.

Scrappy...could you see or feel the stitch that was coming out?  Did it hurt to get it taken out?
