Swollen stomach & numbness after laparotomy
by bonbon1981, Jun 18, 2007 12:00AM
Hi Ladies~
I'm 25 yrs old. Last year I had a laparotomy done (August 29, 2006). This was for a pretty big cyst on my uterus, I also had half of my left tube & half of my left ovary removed.
Now it's June 2007 (about 10 months later), My stomach is still pretty swollen & feels numb when I touch it.
I'm wondering how long will it take for the swolleness & numbness to completely be gone? For some reason the scars I have on my stomach for some reason became Keloid scars. I'm wondering also is that normal for that to happen?
Thanks,
Bonnie

I have went through a laparotomy to remove a 8lb cyst 3 weeks ago, also removed my right ovary (I am 28)
I dont have a swollen stomach but my scar is slighly hard at the top although seems to be healing fine (I also have a keliod scar) do you think this is why my scar is going this way?
Thanks
Gillian
