Anyone ever feel their stomach move when they change positions?



Recommended Posts

Not an easy way to put this, but does anyone else ever "feel" their stomach move when they change positions? For instance if you are laying down in bed and then sit up, I feel something flop in my abdomen. Anybody else get this?

I don't know if it my stomach or the actual band that I feel move. It is the oddest sensation. The first couple days after I got banded, I swear it felt like the band was moving up and down, or catching or something. It was actually painful at first. Now I have gotten used to it and don't notice as much.

I hadn't been told about this, nor had I read about it, but I am glad that I am not the only one!

I know! It's so weird. I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op and the first week it felt like my stomach was a sack of potatoes or something attached to the front of my body instead of part of me.

4 days post & it totally feels like it's moving. It's not painful but is slightly uncomfortable at times. Feels best when i just stand up.

OMG! I thought I was bugging out. I am 11 days out and it has subsided but when I was within the first couple of days I felt it. I don't know if it was the weight of the band or what but it was weird.

I never had a burning sensation. I would call the doc and have that checked out. The stomach movement is not so much of the "snap back" sensation you are stating. Its more like a Water ballon moving. Look into that.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
