Hey All,

so I am 2 weeks post op (sleeve) and I have SEVERE pulling pain/stabbing pain to the left of my belly button, internal pain.

Has anyone else has this?

I cant roll on my side of a night time, I cant sit properly or stand properly. When I stand I feel like I need to curl over in pain.

I have seen the surgeon today who has ordered blood tests to see what is going on but its going to take a week to get the results back.

I am beyond scared about this and truth be told have got regrets about getting it done.

any help would be great.

I had my sleeve on 9/2. I go back to work tomorrow and I'm so worried it's too early because of this pulling pain. I can't completely stand straight and it's a pulling burning feeling also up and to the left slightly of my belly button. originally I thought it WAS my belly button and that maybe the incision was infected but all my incisions look great ( I have 8 total due to having my gallbladder removed AND a hiatal hernia fixed at the same time). To be honest, the pain started to increase on my second week and sometimes it's so bad I wanna cry. I'm a florist and this is going to really stunt my level of work even more so than I already anticipated

Hang in there! It'll get better. We are rooting for you!????????

2 weeks out, same exact pain, just 2 inches left of the belly button. Sometimes it radiates even deeper almost to my back. I don't have a fever, rapid heart rate, abdominal pain or anything like that.

I have a feeling it happened because I have a nasty habit of stretching out in my bed when I wake up in the morning. I stretch my arms and legs out which causes my abdominal muscles to contract. I do it out of habit and have tried to stop myself from doing so but I am not too concerned to be honest. Sometimes the pain also comes with itchiness which makes me feel like it could be something to do with nerves reconnecting as well.

I have an appointment with a doctor less than a week from now and I will ask him and update my post!! Hopefully everything will be fine.

I'm 4 days post op and I have the largest most painful incision to the right of my belly button. This is where they fed multiple instruments through. Im wearing a binding waist sincher that I got at the hospital and that seems to help.

Hi, Iam 10 days post op and Iam feeling this numbness and burning kind of feeling on the inside of my stomach's left side.. Somewhere around the rib cage. Also I feel this pulling feeling on the left side. Please guide if anyone has an idea about this. Could it be a leak? Should I restrict my stomach's movement, or brisk walks?

@@chavezmommy I have that dent too! Right where the burning/pulling pain is. I can't use my abdominal muscles on my right side at all

I'm feeling this too. I'm 3 weeks out of surgery. When does it let up?

I'm day 5 post-op, and am having horrific pain in the sutures to the right of my umbilicus, with it pulling with movement etc. My surgeon said there was a suture to the muscle layer... I'm praying it improves, because I'll be struggling to work with this.
