I am 5 days post op and went to lead youth group tonight. We were sitting on the floor and I went to get up and felt an immediate sharp pain under one of my smaller incisions. It's still there although not as sharp unless I kinda strain my stomach. I have stri strips and don't see any blood or anything but it's uncomfortable feeling. Hoping I just pulled a muscle and didn't mess anything up. Anyone else had this sharp pain?

I experienced the same thing yesterday in cvs! I squatted down to read a hallmark card and when went to stand,I felt like I pulled,or even rearranged something near my port..ughh it hurt but went away.. I also am 5 days post.

This incision is a small one a little ways away from my port. I am gonna see how I feel in the morning before I call my surgeon since he is 4 hours away.

I have felt this a few times! I'm 8 days post op - I believe it's the strain of the muscle/tissue that they sew around your band to hold it in place. If it continues to hurt it's likely a good idea to call your surgeon in case you tore something.

Take pain meds and try a heating pad on your tummy. Hope you feel better in the AM!

I am two weeks post op and had this happen too!! Saw my surgeon today and was told it most likely from scar tissue piling away a bit! Nothing to worry about unless pain continues steady for more than a couple of days!!

I get that too. it comes and goes and different things trigger it. but i was told as long as the pain goes with rest there is nothing to worry about. it's just the muscles adjusting. i have to admit it gave me quite a scare though when it first happened.

the muscles were (cut) and sewn (larger incision)

sounds like it was the scar tissue forming and gave you

that sensation....as long as there is no blood, puss or heat when touching..i think you will be fine but always refer to your doctor if you are truly concerned....i am 15 months post op, and sometimes after step aerobics, i get a tender feeling....congrats on your surgery...just go easy

[carrie.0508 136]

Still pretty tender today. Especially when bending over or walking when my tummy jiggles. Gonna call the doc. Just hoping they don't have me drive the 4 hours there to get it checked.

My docs RN said to take it easy but that things are really sewn in good so she doubts I tore my port out. Probably just pulled a small internal stitch or a muscle

Glad to hear it isn't something terrible! :]

I did that day after surgery. Thought I tore stitches away. When I bent or sat I would get sharp pains. I learned to pressure fingers on port area and is fine

My nurse said its probably where port is catching and will heal. Getting better. Just take it slow. Good luck.
