Is anyone else having burning pain close to their belly button? I only havr it when I sit straight up..and then it becomes to much after a couple of minutes. I've called the doctor and they said it will eventually go away, but I can't work if I can't sit up. Help!

Call your doctor and tell them the pain is so much that you can't sit up, and is interfering with your normal life.

I posted about this a few weeks back. I am 3 and a half weeks out and still have some. It is right across the top of the belly button (nowhere near your incisions!!) and runs in 5 or sinch inches across. It is a hard feeling to explain, not really burning but burning, pain but not like someone hit you and mine felt almost a bit 'numb" or desensitized to touch with the exception of the burning/not burning pain. I know this sounds retarded but am I close? I was wearing jeans and other non-elasticated pants, and when I sat up at my desk it was terrible pain. I stopped wearing anything around my waist and that seemed to help. I am not sugessting you go pantless lol, but some jogging pants or elasticated waists helped me out. The pain was only really bad for a few days (about a week post-op) and doesnt last forever.

Thank god, someone else with this weird feeling !!
