Can anyone help? Bladder or hernia idk

Okay so I am three and a half weeks out from surgery at two and a half weeks I felt great I can pretty much eat what I'm supposed to eat at this point but there is pressure that I feel around the belly button region and below it feels like there's pressure on my urine bladder.... Was thinking about going to ER. but trying to tough it out not sure what it is. when I lay on my side or a little on my stomach there is relief. and I wake up almost feeling normal. but then about an hour after walking around it comes back and gets worse as the day goes on. can anyone help

Do you think it is incision pain? Did they go through your belly-button? Do you know if you did anything strenuous, like lifting more than 10lbs? If you are uncertain, CALL YOUR SURGEON! Don't wait for complications to arise. Your surgical team should be able to advise you as to what to do. You know, I would call them anyway, just to be on the safe side. You DID pay them for this! Good luck and let us know how you are!

It feels like its through belly button. There are two incisions one to right and left of belly button. But it's hard to tell because it resonates all around and feels like pressure on urine bladder. I had surgery in mexico. No insurance lmao karma I guess. I called them they said take advil ....gee thanks advil really?

I'm guessing you probably strained the incisions, but to be sure, why not call a bariatric surgeon in your area? They can probably make you an appointment. Do you notice any redness or swelling? Does it hurt to touch it? Is there a bulge under the skin? That might indicate a hernia. Do you have an Urgent Care facility near you? It might be advisable to go in if you are concerned. How about a Primary Care Physician (PCP) - do you have one? I think it would be good to see them as soon as you can, so you don't have to deal with complications. Let us know how you do, OK? Take care...
