3 Weeks Out Pain

[gerrybee 14]

I'm 3 weeks (to the day) post-op and having some abdominal pain. Mostly just a tight, dull pain right in the center of my abdomen a few inches above my belly button. Feels like the top of my stomach is a little pressured.

Anyone else have this at 3 weeks? I'm hoping it goes away soon. I'd be happy and content if I could just get rid of these last few pains.

It seems slightly exacerbated when I lay on my side (especially my left side) like a weight attached to my innerds pulling on them.

I can still eat but sometimes the pain gets a little worse after meals.

Anyone else felt like this? Is it just normal healing?

Thanks for any insight.

I had strange pulling sensations and sensitivities to laying on my side. I think that's normal. You can always mention it to your surgeon or his nurse during your next follow-up just to be sure!
