Pain near belly button



Recommended Posts

I am having a tearing/pulling, burning pain to the right of my belly button more than an inch from any incision. It is fine if I lay down and don’t move. The moment I get up and move now it hurts so much. I cannot bend over and walking hurts so much. It used to wax and wane, but now it is almost constant after I sit up and pain pills aren’t working. It used to help if I applied pressure, but even that hurts now. Anyone else had a similar issue?? Left a message for my nurse again since it is getting worse.

Pain only happens when I bend over too far or strain my stomach muscles too much now. I can finally walk and take a shower without being in excruciating pain!

I had a similar issue & it has gotten better. I have a high pain tolerance & was extremely worried when this kept happening. I am 2 week’s post op & those pains are pretty much gone. I still have tenderness & tend to sleep hugging a pillow. I think the more you move around, the better it will get.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
