Sharp pain to the left of belly button

[ACJordan 38]

I had my RNY a week ago tomorrow. I had horrible post op pain which has improved with the exception of to the left of my belly button. There isn't an incision there either but the pain is excruciating if I push there, twist, sit up or turn over in bed. Anyone else have/had this? Thanks guys!

@@ACJordan I am 11 days post op and I think Im having the same thing. To the left of my belly button, down low. A sharp pain if trying to sit up, roll over, etc. sometimes takes your breath away and sometimes it seems it takes forever to ease up. My appt is Thurs so Im trying to make it till then. I have no incision there either.

My surgeon advised it's where he was the longest it's the largest incision.

@@tavascott1 Omg! That is very encouraging to hear! It is horrible but then goes away just to catch you off guard awhile later. Gets you really good trying to get up from bed or turning over

@@ACJordan I went to my post op appt today. Doc says all is good. Had my drain tube taken out. Yay! Asked my dr about the pain and he believes mine was from my drain. I can say I have not had the pain since the drain has been removed but it was only removed today so we will see when I go to lay down. I'm on to soft foods now! So happy! And Im down 27 pounds

My surgery was 6/27. I have pain in the same area. It's a burning sensation and gets very intense when i lean forward or sit up straight. Seeing surgeon today. It's a bummer because otherwise I feel great.

I'm 6 months out and that pain is totally normal. It went away by 3 months I think.

I had this for about 3months gradually getting easier over time, apparently it's the muscle they cut through to get to your bowel, even though there's no incision it's from the higher up one where they insert the long prongs to cut and put the camera in. Hope you're feeling better soon!

Yes, this! Me too! I researched and found the same as tonilouise87. I'm trying to rest my abs now and getting help standing. It's better with a support band, too. I'm 4 days post, by the way.
