pinched feeling in stomach



Recommended Posts

I'm 6 months post op, and lately I'm noticing when I go to sit down I get this weird pinched feeling in the right side of my stomach. it literally feels like I'm squishing/ pinching something inside my body ... it's the weirdest thing, it hurts too, not horribly but like a bruise I suppose . any ideas? I half ass think it's that my gut is more floppy now and I'm just not used to it but it really feels internal.

I had Gastric Bypass on December 12 last year. I’m 11 months out and still have that feeling like you’re describing. I was told it is adhesions ( scar tissue)....

oh that makes sense, I assume it's nothing to worry about? It sucks!

The adhesions can be removed by laparoscopic surgery, but laparoscopic surgery causes adhesions. So no win situation 😪

I still cant do a pull up or hand because it hurts by ab muscles, I get the pinch near my incision sites when I over do it. If it gets bad or feels internally bad, I would see a doctor about it. could be gallstones.

You might be able to break up some of the adhesions with massage but would hurt and I’m not 100% sure. I could just be pulling that out of my ass. I get nerve pain from my incisions at 3 months out. Occasionally when I workout I feel a pulling type sensation.

It’s been a while since you first posted. You definitely need to call tomorrow. My symptoms are different than yours but at 3 months (8/23 sleeve) I developed issues swallowing solids then liquids. Just had a barium study and the radiologist confirmed reflux, two spots of narrowing, and delayed emptying. I won’t know if it’s abnormal or severe enough for treatment till my appt Thursday.

Anyway, my story was just to say we need to trust our intuition. Sometimes when we feel like something is wrong, something is wrong. With your digestive system, better to be safe than sorry!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
