@difrnt1 I am only 6 weeks out but have severe back pain & have pain in my whole abdominal area! No energy have only been out of the house 2 times to see drs! My dr think I look great! He said he doesn’t need to see me anymore despite my ongoing misery! No one told me this was going to be so tough. I’m trying very hard to stay positive but get very depressed some days. I’ve had a lot of abdominal surgeries in the past so I’m concerned about excessive scar tissue. Does anyone know how I will know or if they will know if I do have excessive scar tissue or should the surgeon have seen this when he did the surgery? i’m so glad to have found this site so I can talk to other people that have experienced the same. Any words of encouragement would be helpful thanks to all of you out there.
