pinched feeling in stomach

[nh-vsgirl 102]

I'm 6 months post op, and lately I'm noticing when I go to sit down I get this weird pinched feeling in the right side of my stomach. it literally feels like I'm squishing/ pinching something inside my body ... it's the weirdest thing, it hurts too, not horribly but like a bruise I suppose . any ideas? I half ass think it's that my gut is more floppy now and I'm just not used to it but it really feels internal.

I had Gastric Bypass on December 12 last year. I’m 11 months out and still have that feeling like you’re describing. I was told it is adhesions ( scar tissue)....

oh that makes sense, I assume it's nothing to worry about? It sucks!

The adhesions can be removed by laparoscopic surgery, but laparoscopic surgery causes adhesions. So no win situation 😪

I still cant do a pull up or hand because it hurts by ab muscles, I get the pinch near my incision sites when I over do it. If it gets bad or feels internally bad, I would see a doctor about it. could be gallstones.

You might be able to break up some of the adhesions with massage but would hurt and I’m not 100% sure. I could just be pulling that out of my ass. I get nerve pain from my incisions at 3 months out. Occasionally when I workout I feel a pulling type sensation.

It’s been a while since you first posted. You definitely need to call tomorrow. My symptoms are different than yours but at 3 months (8/23 sleeve) I developed issues swallowing solids then liquids. Just had a barium study and the radiologist confirmed reflux, two spots of narrowing, and delayed emptying. I won’t know if it’s abnormal or severe enough for treatment till my appt Thursday.

Anyway, my story was just to say we need to trust our intuition. Sometimes when we feel like something is wrong, something is wrong. With your digestive system, better to be safe than sorry!
