Pain when getting up and down



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
