I am 6 weeks today and still have that belly button pain. I'm noticing now that the swelling and initial pains are gone, other muscle pains are more prominent...and every pain is on the right side :lol: I've also lost 50lbs since December 1 and I think much of the pain is from adjusting the weight loss, my muscles are in shock and don't know how to react :lol:

Thanks for your response... Now I no Im not alone :) congrats on your weight loss.. Must be a great feeling I don't feel like I lost n e thing at all even tho the scale says its been 22lbs so far for 3weeks.. I absolutely have no appetite for anything.. I don't even want to drink my Protein shakes.. I force myself to drink 1 a day.. & I'm a bad patient I no that will help me heal.. & probably take away this belly button pain.. :( I Dk what to do...

I just finished up a week and a half of not wanting to eat or drink anything and nausea when I even thought about it :lol: I think that's normal also. As long as there's no pain or feeling like there is something really wrong, it's okay.

The funniest thing that's happened to me so far....I worry about leaks constantly even though they are unlikely...I know that one of the symptoms is left shoulder pain and about 2 weeks ago I started freaking out because my left shoulder was hurting a lot. Finally, my husband said to me "You have had left shoulder pain for 2 years...you have psoriatic arthritis in your left shoulder...now snap out of it you hypochondrac :rofl:

Oh, and I want to qualify, I felt fine, I just didn't want to eat or drink, everything that I can eat sounded so unappealing and made me literally gag when I thought about them. Though things like a cheeseburger sounded divine :lol:

I'm 3 days out and having significant belly button pain, since he made an incision there. I have had to start walking around with a small pillow to support my stomach (as well as when I sit down). There are other aches and pains, but this belly button business is by far the most annoying and painful!

My stomach came out my belly button incision so perhaps yours did also... Which could account for the tenderness.

My stomach didn't come out my belly button dr made the 5 incisions my stomach came out the biggest one. The dr said I must've picked something up over 5lbs & strained my belly button area?! The pain doesn't go away :( it's constant I'm going to have it examined tomorrow...I pray it's not a hernia :( keep me in your prayers guys....

My mother looked at my belly button incision and said that even though they didn't use actual stitches to close up ( they used some super strong crazy glue!), it looked like they kind of glued the top and bottom of my belly button together to close the incision...that combined with the fact that I have a tummy that still kind of hangs down constantly puts strain on it and causes pain. I have just started walking around with a small pillow at my stomach to kind of hold it up and take some of the pressure off.

It gets better by day 5 u will move around again. I had a hard travel pillow that was my best friend!! I lifted 2 gallons of Water on day 7 --bc I felt sooo awesome and thought I was super woman! Popped my right side small incision open--now it's a bullet wound scar. The rest looks great. It will get better. I used to get like a shooting pain every so often for about 2 mths but that was just the body adjusting to this awesome craziness

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
