Tightness in my stomach

Posted , 4 users are following.

I had a laparoscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy on May 20th. When I'm laying in bed it sometimes feels like I have an elastic band across my stomach even though I don't. Is this normal?

    Mine was not through the vagina but it was robotic and I had a bunch of small incisions. I would feel something like that especially lying on my back. A year later I still feel it if I have a waistband that's even a bit snug.
