Pain

Was sleeved on 4/18. Also had hiatal and umbilical hernia repair. Still having significant pain on and off to right side of belly button. Any experience with this???

Pain probably not sleeve related but your unbilical or hernia repair. Usually sleeve pain in the left side where they took out the porton the stomach they removed. Just my thoughts since that's mostly what I've read about post-op sleeve pain and that's where mine was although very minor pain.

Hi, Jani! Sorry to hear about the pain. I am 11 days post-op and still having significant pain over the belly button and around the right incision site due to intramuscular bleeding, which has caused two large haematomas. The removed portion of my stomach was taken out through the belly button incision. I also had a hiatal hernia repaired during the surgery. It could well be that your pain is related to the umbilical hernia repair rather than the sleeve procedure, but if the pain is still significant at this stage post-op, you really ought to check it out with your surgeon. Best of luck!
