a year & a half after debulking still have some abdominal discomfort still tender & bruised-F eelt

Hi all

I must preface this by being honest & saying I carry my excess fat in my jiggly belly

 

Yesterday I was sitting in my wheel chair - paralysis from severe stroke & bent forward to pick something off the floor when I sat back up I had a sharp pain at the top of my incision - took my breath away for a few seconds.   wondering if the scar tissue that won't stretch combined wih my belt fat  bewing scrunched inward  was the problem.  do any olf you till have disaconfor this long after ( 1 1/2 yrs)?

 

thanksforr anyexperiences- basically looking to see how normal still being very aware of the belly & incision is

Hi susan , I too can't seem

Hi susan , I too can't seem to bent over and scrunch up my scar , I get a pain which reminds me I'm still tender and im a year in July from surgery . I guess our bodies have been through so much and need a long time to heal . I'm still trying to carry on as before ov Cancer diagnosis but my body has definitely changed , menopause , weight gain , joint pain !!!! But I'm still here and enjoying life , best wishes susan .

Thanks for putting my mind at ease

Hi,, Ladies it's only been 3 months since my tag and debulking. I have lots of pain and tenderness, thanks for helping me realize it's just part of the healing process. Hope we all feel better soon.
