I was sleeved on 9/11 . My incisions are pretty much all healed great. No problems swallowing or anything. The only problem is to the left of my belly button on the inside where my doctor said there is a stitch . Don't seem to be easing up at all . After sitting for a bit and then standing up is just the worst pulling, burning feeling like a rope ripping. And then after I'm up it will slowly subside. It's terrible though . My doctor said it was normal but everyone I know that's had this has not experienced this . Has anyone here ?

I still have a pulling like sinsation when I get up where my main incision is. I still have to be careful getting up, and I still protect that side a little more. My surgery was also on 9/11. Sometimes just sitting I get twinges (little pains) and a burning feeling sometimes. My Dr. said it's all normal too.

I was sleeved on the 5th and I still get a pulling/ burning pain where my larger incision is from moving around in bed, stting in a chair, or when I reach down too far. Hoping it goes away soon!

My surgery was on the 5th so I'm just 2 weeks post-opt I kinda have the same thing. All 5 incisions are doing fine but the bigger one still hurts with bending or getting out of bed . I also still have all scabs on all incisions . My stomach is also still swollen. Is yours??

Yes swollen a little , I called the office and the nurse said that sometimes the doctor can't tell where she nerve endings are when putting the stitch in the abdomen wall . So that's what's causing my pain. She said unfortunately it will just take longer for this part of me to heal . It really stinks because this has put me out of work a while extra week. I just want to be able to get up and down with no pain . sleeves 9/11.

Came across your post. This is exactly what I’m going through. Dr said it was normal, but doesn’t happen to everyone. Has it subsided for you? I don’t know how much longer I can tolerate this. It gets unbearable when I move the wrong way.
