Pain above belly button



Recommended Posts

I'm 11 days post op. Been feeling pretty good all my incisions are healing great. Since yesterday I've been getting this little pain right above my belly button usually only happens when i sit, get up or bend over, there's no fever No vomiting no severe pain just an annoying poking pain. I'm thinking it Maybe be the muscles since its right between two of my Incisions so I'm thinking they got disturbed during surgery. Anyone experience this?

Could be a bit of pulling as skin starts knitting together forming slight scar tissue. Particularly as it's 11 days post op

Sorry to hear that. I've had tenderness there since my surgery. My doctor ran some lab work to see if it was inflammation in my liver or pancreas. Liver appears to be unhappy, but (for me), not enough to be concerned about yet. The first six weeks, I kept a heating pad on it every evening because it was so sore. No sharp pains, just very sore. Incisions all healed quickly.

I’m 33 days post op and I have same issue. I don’t know if it’s a hernia or what. I see doctor at 6 week check up so hopefully it goes away by then.

Did you receive any hernia repair by chance? This led to my decision to elect to eceive a gastric sleeve and my hernia repair were stitched vice using a mesh. So my discomfort was because of this and the gastric sleeve, I just couldn't tell which one it was other than it took some time to heal up. Definitely, consult with your physician (Nurses) before you approach your post-surgery appointment soon, as I am sure you already aware of. Hope our perceptions and experiences are helpful.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
