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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
