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?

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, 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!

Let me know what they tell u it possibly is?

Hi! I'm 10 days out and having the same exact problem. I also stopped my loritab 2 days ago and I'm thinking I may need it again at least at night. My incision burns and just throbs.

I still don't know what it is 11days post op. mine is not the incision though it is to the left and below my belly button

I also never had a drain

I have this pain now, at 24 days post op. My doctor says it is normal. Mine is on the inside but occasionally it also hurts on the outside at my skin. There is no incision where it hurts either. It is below my belly button slightly to the left.

Yes that is EXACTLY wher my pain is! Hooray I'm not the only one and hooray that it's normal

Yes horray Its norma!!! Today while going on my too Long of a walk I started getting a little pain in my belly button and pushing it in with my hand helped.
