  1. I personally haven't had that. Do you have a drain still? The only agonizing pain I had was from my drain. If it doesn't get better' date=' call the ER. Did they do the surgery through your belly button? That could just be the healing process. I hope you feel better soon![/quote']

    Let me know what they tell u it possibly is?

    No drains at all the incision is by the pain


  3. I suggest you call your surgeon just for the piece of mind.

    I did he said he has heard of people claiming to hv that pain and said it goes away in about a month. He said as long as I don't hv a racey heart rate and I'm urinating Ill b fine. He said it sounds like its healing slow


  4. Sometimes when your body is building tissue' date=' it creates a burning sensation inside or an itchy sensation outside. All of my incisions are now itchy so I know they are healing. I can occasionally feel a slight burning around my belly button too but I think it's just the healing process <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> hope it helps.[/quote']

    Hope so:) thx


  5. I'm 4 weeks post op today. I was wondering if anyone else was dealing with an issue I'm having. All day long I feel like I'm choking on something it's almost like a heartburn feeling. I'm taking my Pepcid & also other meds to help but it's getting to the point it's interfering with my eating. I feel like when I start to eat I'm choking also.

    I'm just very frustrated & just wonder if all of these issues are ever going to go away so I can enjoy actually eating again. Just feel very frustrated & really ready to feel "normal" again.

    Are u sure your burning sensation is not that?


  6. I think I will give them a call so we can compare. I also notice it more when I lay down or stretch & not sure if you're the same. It's very odd.

    I've lost 22lbs so far!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> I'm happy about that but the recovery process has been rough. I ended up staying 3 days because of vomiting even odd meds. It's been a little rougher recovery than I had hoped but I'm finally getting back to normal! Hope you are doing well!! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

    Yes mine is when I drink it feels burning like its stretching burn. That's great on the weight loss! Can't wait to chat again. Hope u get relieve. Mine hurts sooooo bad when I cough. I bet we strained it by coughing and vomiting


  7. I'm actually feeling somewhat of the same pain. It's an odd burning pain to the left of my belly button. I'm curious to see what you find out.

    My dr said he wasn't sure yet he has heard of this before an it could last up to a month and as long as I'm peeing and no racey heart rate then nothing to worry about& said to take it easy. I'm gonna check back in a week and see what he says. U should ask ur dr. as well and see what he says so we can compare. Call them that's what they r their for:) looking forward to hearing from u:) good luck. How much hv u lost?


  8. Just wondering if anyone else was told they didn't have to do a Pre op. my surgeon is at a center of excellence and told me I could eat up until midnight the night before surgery' date='. I just find it odd after seeing everyone doing the Pre op diets[/quote']

    My preop diet was to just lose the weight I needed to. After I made weight I could eat what I wanted until midnight


  9. I I just had gastric sleeve surgery 6days ago and just got off the liquid loritab yesterday. 2days ago I started feeling a burning sensation just left and below my belly button. I wasent sure if I've always had this pain and it was covered up with the medicine and if this is something to be concerned about? Hv any of u experienced this?
