1/13 was my sleeve date , I am 5 days post op and have been feeling a weird pulsing sensation in my stomach area especially when I’m sleeping , is this normal ? Has anyone else felt this

Yes, like my abdomen has a heartbeat.

Have had it since my op a year and a half ago, not as frequent anymore but still occurs.

Omg yes lol that’s exactly what it feels like ? I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one cause everyone I know whose gotten a sleeve is like WTH ?

You are not alone

I said it to the doctors at one point during my hospital stay and they just nodded ?

I don't know what causes it but figure it is the body doing its work.

Yep! Never felt that prior to surgery but not it's common! It's so weird, feels like my stomach is fluttering like a heartbeat.

It’s so weird I notice it most when I’m laying down and it freaked me out lol love seeing other people have the same feeling
