6 months out. Spent all day Saturday bending over putting Christmas away. Sore just below the waist. Puffed up again. I want to start exercising. I guess I'll have to put up with a little discomfort yet!

my body...
I am not sure if my belly ever really will be the same again. I have had 3 surgeries including a pregnancy (twins delivered by cesarean), ovarian cysts removed and hernia surgery before my TAH. I have no real muscle in my stomach area to speak of. I am only 42 years old, not overweight (135 lbs. and 5 feet 1) and my belly is soft and squishy but with the scar feeling ok now. Every so often the scar tissue pulls and causes a burning sensation for a short time. Other than that though, I am feeling pretty good. It took many months to have my swollen belly go away permanently.

Swelly Belly: better some days, worse others.
Incision thickness: yes.
I'm 6 months post-op and probably not the best person to gauge yourself by however... my incision never closed - I had to be cauterized 2 weeks ago!
39 yo, TAH + LSO 6/24/05
4 years of uncontrollable bleeding/clotting & one cyst-infested ovary.

I went for a long walk 5 months post - and BOOM!! MAJOR SWELLY BELLY!! LOL... I guess I just did more than I am use to...
My scar is quite hard on the inside and quite "thick" feeling... will take time to heal I guess... but then I usually don't scar too nicely...
Ouch on the cauterizing lumpybunny...
Hugs!
