Spasms

[HotButterFly 981]

I feel this weird movement in my belly near the port incision. I doubt it's "gas". The only think I can equate it to is the movements babies make inside the womb.... Like a "rolling" movement. Has anyone else experience this???

Maybe Google *muscle spasm* because that's most likely what it is unless you have adhesions.

I've had the same sensation. It doesn't hurt (at least for me) but you described it perfectly- like when a baby rolls over during pregnancy. I've actually put my hand on the spot before half expecting to feel it.

Now, here's the weird thing: I never felt it until after my hernia repair/skin removal/tummy tuck surgery on May 1. Since then I've felt it many times. I just assumed it's because the muscles the port is attached to have been injured and tightened and they're spasming a bit as they heal. (it takes 3-6 months to fully heal from the surgery I had)

Mis73, you've been through a LOT!! Yeah, I guess it's the muscles complaining or trying to "accommodate" themselves.. Thanks! (I just don't wanna be calling the office for every little thing. Did you also have a hard time burping? It's killing me! Did you use any homemade remedies to get rid of gas?

You're recently post op, yes?

The best way to get rid of that gas is walking. The reason is, the gas is pumped into your abdominal cavity during surgery so it's not actually in your digestive system at all. That's why you can't burp it out.

Walking will help your body re-absorb it faster. Some find a heating pad to be soothing, too.

This happens to me all the time now! Except it's on the opposite side of my body from my port.

I've been having the same spasms on the opposite side of my band. I've name mine LapBaby. I constantly feel pregnant on a regular basis, most of my aches and pains have mimicked pregnancy. So strange it's been easy to adapt to
