After being home for a week I developed an infection and was admitted for another 8 days. It is now 13 weeks since surgery and I feel a bad sensation in the area of the scar (I had open surgery) and I feel very sensitive in that area. I feel a pulling feeling and I am unable to button my pants or wear a belt. I would like to know if anyone has had similar problems. I also feel like a cold feeling or sensation on my private parts. Please respond if you are feeling the same so that I can know its a normal process.

I'm in my 5th week of recovery. I still have some discomfort. I get a burning or pinching pain.
I think this is from my abdominal healing.
Before my surgery I was very active, running, weight lifting,etc. I'm certainly not up to that yet.
I can see from the posts that everyone seems to heal differently and at a different pace.
This forum was very helpful.

I was back to work in 4 weeks part time and was up and walking around the day after my surgery, even went to the grocery store and was doing laundry a few days after I was home. I was in the hospital 4 days. I stopped the pain meds about 4 days after being home. Once the bloating was gone I started to feel better. My incision did open up, twice though and had an infection that took a long time to heal. That was the worst part of it for me. I had no appetite at all and ate very little. My bowels were like soft mush and I had a lot of gas that was very uncomfortable to pass. But by 6 weeks I was back to my regular routines, but like I said the infection took months to go away. I lost about 17 lbs. from the surgery and gained it all back in due time. Good luck with your recovery.
