Big Question Here...

6 days post op and I have 2 places where my stitches are uhm... pinchy.  Especially if I bend over to get something from the floor or bend forward (obviously using abdominals)   Is this normal?

Yes, it is. My surgeon told me not to bend over for awhile so that I would avoid pulling the abdominals while everything was healing directly after surgery. Try squatting at your knees and keeping your back straight up and down while you go down to the floor to pick stuff up.

Oh thank you for helping.  hmm I have been bending like normal, I hope I haven't pulled anything.  As for using my legs.... I don't think I could lift myself back up if I would squat down to get anything!!  lol!!
