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?

It could be your internal stitched area healing. I still have it 17 days post op but not painful....just a pulling sensation.

Mine was on my left side where they pulled my stomach out...they make a deeper cut and stitch your muscle with a deep stitch. If you are concerned just give your dr office a call that is what they are there for and you will feel better knowing it is nothing major.

Thank u I hope that's it. Mine is where there is no incision. Mines below belly button but yes it feels burning like pulling. Especially when I drink anything

Dont worry it Will all go soon

I'm 6 days post op today too and I haven't taken any pain meds since I left the hospital on Wednesday at noon. The only pain I've experienced but the incisions have been my largest on about 3 inches on my left side. It only happens if I stretch too far for something. Today at work I was feeling some slight annoying back pain and some in the muscles under my boobs. More annoying than anything.

Thank u I hope that's it. Mine is where there is no incision. Mines below belly button but yes it feels burning like pulling. Especially when I drink anything

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