Anyone Feel Pressure in their Abdomen?

Okay so I'm only 4 days post op but I continuously feel this immense pressure in my abdomen. Has anyone else experienced this? It's like my whole stomach area feels heavy and bloated and it's hard for me to breathe deeply...... I hope this feeling goes away!

I had my sleeve on October 4th. I think the pain in the abdomen is common. I also feel bloated, but I believe it's part of the healing process. I've noticedthat deep breathing is a little painful so I'm trying to do some breathing exercises to help. I think what we're experiencing is normal...good luck!

@@KristenLe, I agree. Probably the gas they fill your abdominal cavity with to perform the surgery-the more you move, it will pass, literally. HOWEVER, take no risks, call your Dr. just to make sure.

I've noticed it's getting better as I walk more.... So I'm hoping it's getting better for you too!!!
