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

[Sunny702 2]

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.
