Sudden Post Surgery Pain



Recommended Posts

I am about 2.5 weeks post vertical sleeve. I was doing fine a couple of days ago and then after some light housework I have sharp pain near my belly button. I thought it was my incision hurting but now I'm thinking the pain is deeper. What could be causing this? The nurse checked my incision and said it was fine yesterday but at that point I thought it was just surface pain. How concerned should I be?

It could very well be incision pain and it can be pretty deep depending on how thick you are. If you are concerned it could be something more then don't hesitate to call your DR. I myself can't tell you anything without an exam. @@Desi1977

Thank you. Is there anything that can be done to help it? Tylenol is just not kicking it. I've even wrapped some Spanx around my middle but it still hurts like it did right after surgery.

A week after my surgery I was feeling better and started doing a little more. Got a horrible sharp pain just below my belly button extending to the right side. Turns out I tore a muscle by moving a bit too much. Bed rest for a couple days made a big difference!

      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! 😞
