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.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
