Greetings fellow sleevers! I am one month post op. All of my surgery pain has gone away but a little over a week ago I started having a terrible sharp pain down below my belly button. Its not the really sore surgery pain that we all felt on our left sides. It feels different. Like if I move a certain way someone stabs me down by my belly button with a red hot knife. Makes me gasp and grab for my belly out of instinct to the pain. When I wake up on the morning it is better but by the end of the day it is really intense. Has anyone else experienced this? Yes, I have spoken to my surgeon but he just said to wait and see if it gets better. Its been over a week and so far it isnt a bit better.

Red hot knife pain is definitely a Doc issue. Call your doc and if you're not satisfied with his answer, get a second opinion. Like in go to the ER and get it checked out. Better to be sure.
