@pgruetz May I suggest having your transplant surgeon assess your abdomen to rule out an incisional hernia if it hasn’t been ruled out already. There is also a chance of a sensitive scar that may need a formal scar desensitization by a therapist.

@mdplastics oh yeah I had a incision hernia a really bad one and had major surgery and mesh inserted 8”x10” piece which now really hurts it was done last December I’m not sure if it gets any better I kinda doubt it I’m 65 I could see if you were younger it’s a better chance of healing right
