Sharp internal pain - 6 days post-op

[mandems mom 3]

Parallel to my bellybutton on the left side is a sharp pain which I'm assuming is from my stomach. The pain is semi-constant so it's not like it occurs only during Fluid intake or activity, etc. Does everyone experience this or is this something I should be worried about and see a doctor about? Thank you!

I think you should report any pain that is new to you or constant. Better safe than sorry.

I haven't felt any sharp pains. I will occasionally feel a muscle twinge but it's not sharp and not a big deal. If it's constant you should call your surgeon.

I think I figured it out and boy do I feel dumb!! I think it's been the waistband on the pants I've been wearing. Although they're elastic, they do cut in to that area of my stomach when I sit. When I was feeding my daughter I was in real pain and moved my waistband to underneath all my fat and felt instant relief!

I know this was a serious post- but I read that and laughed out loud! lol- haha- You don't know how many times I get my fat roll stuck in my rib and it hurts soooo bad- can't wait to loose the rolls so that dont happen anymore- lol

But on a serious note- if you find the pain is really still there and its not your pants- better call your doctor-

OMG that is so funny! That happened to me one night at Water aerobics I was thinking I had a stomach ache all class and it was my water belt being too tight!
