Weird burning / ripping sensation near belly button ????



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 8/17/11 since then I've been GREAT with the exception of this weird ripping feeling near my belly button. It's not an incision point and it happens randomly when I move a certain way. It feels like a band aid being ripped off quickly (but on the inside). It hurts then goes away.

Has anyone else had this ... if so what was it and what did you do? How long did it last?

Thanks in advance!

I had the same feeling, adding a little cramping at the site. My doctor just said it was nothing to worry about, no real explanation. Not saying you shouldn't worry, but he said it would go away and it did. I'd say it was maybe 2 months when I completely no longer noticed it.

Thanks for the comments ... it's good to know I'm not the only one and I'm not crazy. lol It's also good to hear that "this too shall pass".

Other than this weird pain I feel GREAT ... with the exception of being hungry. :( The first week I wasn't hungry at all this week ... can you say STARVING?? I can't wait to get to mushy! Soooo looking forward to eating something.

Dadams - CONGRATS on your surgery!! How are you doing so far?

The starving happened to me too when I was on liquids. It did go away for me when I got to purees and then solids. Just so you know that it probably won't be forever.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
