Hello everyone. I'm new and this is my first post. Mostly everyone seems helpful and supportive here, so I just wanted to ask a question about pain. I was sleeved on 8/25. I had my post-op follow up with surgeon on 9/7 and he cleared me for all exercise (except abdominal exercises). Today was the first day I cleaned the house from top to bottom since surgery, and it took me about 4 hours. My stomach is killing me! It feels like muscular pain, which would be understandable since the most exertion I've done since surgery is walk. I think I just overdid it, but I was curious if anyone else experienced pain like this after their first major exertion? Thanks for the feedback.

I actually just posted a similar question I'm in week 4 as of today and I'm starting to do some more physical activity and to the left of my belly button it's pretty painful it feels like I did a zillion crunches or something! So we can't be alone in this pain best of luck!

That's exactly where I'm having my pain as well! I'm sorry you're having pain too, but I'm glad to know it's nothing horribly wrong. Thanks and good luck.

I'm having pain in a similar area, but it's more underneath the left side of my ribs. I'm two weeks out on Weds and see my surgeon tomorrow so will follow up with him then...

Housework uses alot of abdominal muscles - the reason exercise is not recommended this early out is it can cause hernias. I would give your surgeon a call to be safe all is well.

Yup! Carried my 22 lbs son about a quarter of a mile and belly button hurt like hell after

I was lucky- my post op instructions were very clear- "NO housework for 6 weeks"...

I went back to work at 2 weeks and had that same pain for about 2 weeks. By week 4 it was fine

Thanks very much, everyone. I called the surgeon and based on my symptoms (no nausea or vomiting with the pain), he thinks it's muscle pain. He told me to hold off on the housework for another two weeks to avoid complications with potential hernias.

Hello, I am 3 weeks 4 days post sleeve op ,and a couple days ago I puked pretty hard... Now I feel like my stomach is super sore or kinda like ripped underneath my skin. The deep inside of my belly button is sore and kind of like an irritated burn, it's hard to describe. My stomach feels irritated. Has anyone else had this issue? Does it go away after I let it re heal myself again? What have you done? Thanks for the feed back. This journey is definitely not easy.
