Pain when I lay down/get up from bed

Hey guys. Im 11 days post-op amd when I lay myself down for bed or get up from bed it feels like all the insides in my stomach are shifting and it hurts. Anyone else feeling this? When does it go away?

I'm 19 days out and still have sight pain. I just found out I'm having a reaction to the internal sutures used. The last surgery I had this same thing happened and it took 8 weeks for the pain to go away!

Not sure it's the same but perhaps!

Like an allergic reaction? If so, do you know wha they were made of that you're reacting to? I ask because I have some contact allergies & this possibility worries me!

To OP -- I've read that several people have really liked having and abdominal binder post-op, just to give some support to the belly. Maybe that would help?

I had the same kind of pain. When I would lay down sideways it was like a stretching feeling. It felt like extreme muscle pain. I wouldn't do any heavy lifting or anything like that...even light lifting for that matter. It did get better probably two weeks post op...I'm 3.5 weeks now.

Belly band was a must for me, it really helped

I was told they were made of PDS material. I also have contact allergies with tapes and adhesives but only on my tummy it seems. I don't know much about this really other then my surgeon said I 'maybe having a reaction to the inside sutures'. Sorry I'm not much more help :(

My doc said it was from the stitches through the muscles. It does go away

I was sleeved on the 19th and was doing really well until yesterday. Now I'm having severe pain near an incision. I asked the DR about it on Monday and like the previous poster said its from sewing through all the layers of tissue including the muscle. When will it stop?? It hurts so bad I can't even stand up. I dug out the abdominal binder I had from my hysterectomy and that helps some. Any other advice?
