roiansmom 4 Posted February 21, 2013 I am 6 weeks today and still have that belly button pain. I'm noticing now that the swelling and initial pains are gone, other muscle pains are more prominent...and every pain is on the right side I've also lost 50lbs since December 1 and I think much of the pain is from adjusting the weight loss, my muscles are in shock and don't know how to react Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roiansmom 4 Posted February 21, 2013 I just finished up a week and a half of not wanting to eat or drink anything and nausea when I even thought about it I think that's normal also. As long as there's no pain or feeling like there is something really wrong, it's okay. The funniest thing that's happened to me so far....I worry about leaks constantly even though they are unlikely...I know that one of the symptoms is left shoulder pain and about 2 weeks ago I started freaking out because my left shoulder was hurting a lot. Finally, my husband said to me "You have had left shoulder pain for 2 years...you have psoriatic arthritis in your left shoulder...now snap out of it you hypochondrac :rofl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roiansmom 4 Posted February 21, 2013 Oh, and I want to qualify, I felt fine, I just didn't want to eat or drink, everything that I can eat sounded so unappealing and made me literally gag when I thought about them. Though things like a cheeseburger sounded divine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizTex2587 212 Posted February 21, 2013 I'm 3 days out and having significant belly button pain, since he made an incision there. I have had to start walking around with a small pillow to support my stomach (as well as when I sit down). There are other aches and pains, but this belly button business is by far the most annoying and painful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which could account for the tenderness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NyPrincess 7 Posted February 22, 2013 My stomach didn't come out my belly button dr made the 5 incisions my stomach came out the biggest one. The dr said I must've picked something up over 5lbs & strained my belly button area?! The pain doesn't go away it's constant I'm going to have it examined tomorrow...I pray it's not a hernia keep me in your prayers guys.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandalyons83 46 Posted February 22, 2013 My worst pain post op was also in my belly button incision. Hope it gets better for you. Mine was sore for a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizTex2587 212 Posted February 22, 2013 My mother looked at my belly button incision and said that even though they didn't use actual stitches to close up ( they used some super strong crazy glue!), it looked like they kind of glued the top and bottom of my belly button together to close the incision...that combined with the fact that I have a tummy that still kind of hangs down constantly puts strain on it and causes pain. I have just started walking around with a small pillow at my stomach to kind of hold it up and take some of the pressure off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a hard travel pillow that was my best friend!! I lifted 2 gallons of Water on day 7 --bc I felt sooo awesome and thought I was super woman! Popped my right side small incision open--now it's a bullet wound scar. The rest looks great. It will get better. I used to get like a shooting pain every so often for about 2 mths but that was just the body adjusting to this awesome craziness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
