Hi Tracy, I have not. Does your surgeon know you have this going on? I hope there's something he/she can do. Good luck.

Yes, she knows.. I was told there is really nothing I can do but to wait for my body to reabsorb it which is typically 4-6 weeks

Ugh, sorry to hear it. I hope someone in the group has tps for you, at least for the pain until it reabsorbs.

I had this and it did get better on it’s own in time, hope the same applies to you!

How long did it take? And was yours painful?

It was painful enough for me to mention it to my doctor at my back to work appointment, but once I found out what it was, I relaxed and it just got better on it’s own. The pain wasn’t that major for me. I can’t remember how long it took, sorry.

Read my post. I need to ask my doctor about that. Because I have had essentially 6 surgeries in one year on my stomach , I have a lot of scar tissue, but the pain is crazy maybe that's what's wrong with me now.

So sorry to hear that. I hope it resolves itself soon.
