pattivalvo 23 Posted August 6, 2012 I I just had gastric sleeve surgery 6days ago and just got off the liquid loritab yesterday. 2days ago I started feeling a burning sensation just left and below my belly button. I wasent sure if I've always had this pain and it was covered up with the medicine and if this is something to be concerned about? Hv any of u experienced this?

notime 340 Posted August 6, 2012 I don't know if this is serious or not and the best anyone else can do is give an opinion. Call your doctor for the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elinjacksmom 5 Posted August 7, 2012 I'm actually feeling somewhat of the same pain. It's an odd burning pain to the left of my belly button. I'm curious to see what you find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattivalvo 23 Posted August 7, 2012 I'm actually feeling somewhat of the same pain. It's an odd burning pain to the left of my belly button. I'm curious to see what you find out. My dr said he wasn't sure yet he has heard of this before an it could last up to a month and as long as I'm peeing and no racey heart rate then nothing to worry about& said to take it easy. I'm gonna check back in a week and see what he says. U should ask ur dr. as well and see what he says so we can compare. Call them that's what they r their for:) looking forward to hearing from u:) good luck. How much hv u lost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elinjacksmom 5 Posted August 7, 2012 I think I will give them a call so we can compare. I also notice it more when I lay down or stretch & not sure if you're the same. It's very odd. I've lost 22lbs so far!! I'm happy about that but the recovery process has been rough. I ended up staying 3 days because of vomiting even odd meds. It's been a little rougher recovery than I had hoped but I'm finally getting back to normal! Hope you are doing well!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's great on the weight loss! Can't wait to chat again. Hope u get relieve. Mine hurts sooooo bad when I cough. I bet we strained it by coughing and vomiting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elinjacksmom 5 Posted August 7, 2012 I think you're right. I'm sure we strained something I just hope it heals up soon. I'm just ready to feel "normal" again :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissAwesome 4 Posted August 7, 2012 Sometimes when your body is building tissue, it creates a burning sensation inside or an itchy sensation outside. All of my incisions are now itchy so I know they are healing. I can occasionally feel a slight burning around my belly button too but I think it's just the healing process hope it helps.
