Has anyone else had the strange feeling while switching positions that you're insides are moving. It so odd. It's under the incision site that the stomach was pulled out of. I can't help but feel its empty in there and when I move...especially for laying to standing my organs move too to fill the empty whole!!!

I remember having that feeling at the beginning. It was then that I thought an abdominal binder would help, but never got one.

The organs also don't have all the fat cushioning them, so they may be resettling. Ewwwww.

I was wondering this myself because I started happening to me very recently. I usually sleep on my side and it really freaked me out. It don't happen all the time but it is a weird felling. I have a follow up in two weeks but I think I just going to call on Monday.

I've never noticed this and it sounds interesting. Would I still experience it at 4 months out? I'm into weird things...lol

I had this feeling when I had my tubes tied. Every time I rolled from side to side it felt like all my internal organs were resettling. I've not had surgery yet but I expect to have the same feeling.

I read that Lisa Lampanelli (the comic that had VSG this year) said something similar. Actually, the reason (one of the major ones, at least) that I'm choosing VSG over RNY is bc my surgeon said one of the possible complications with RNY is that due to the re-routing of intestines, they can sometimes slip around & turn over on themselves in the space that's created in the abdominal cavity once you start losing a lot of wt. It's an operable issue, as they have to go back in to detangle & secure the intestines. He warned that w/VSG sometimes there's a ghosting feeling from nerves,etc but that it's usually just the body getting used to it's new self.

I was told in the hospital that since there was extra room in the abdomen from taking out 80 % of my stomach that the other organs will move around a little to get resettled .

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
