I remember having a burning sensation to the right of my bellybutton right after surgery. The skin on top being numb.

It's been a long time since surgery. I feel this burning sensation once in awhile, every few months. Right now it's like a pulling when i sit up from bed or lay dow slowly. Not painful, just odd. No bumps or lumps in the area. It's not over scar tissue.

I haven't seen my surgeon in a long time, i was at a stall and felt like i had failed. He's also moved to another office i'd need to get in touch with. I'm not sure if my GP could help with this. I see her in March, thats a little bit away and i don't want to go in early for nothing.

Anyone else going through this? Someone suggested a hernia, which of course sent me straight here to talk to people that have actually had this done, lol.

I don't think any of us can answer that. The first thing that sprang to my mind was an ulcer. Get to a doctor for a follow.

I was going to ask the Veteran's Forum but it won't let me in. I've been here since 2013.

I DO have anxiety so, this could be nothing. I might really have to call up this surgeon i haven't seen in a year and ask. Not looking forward to that speech at all.
