TraceyH04 8 Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Hi, I’m so sorry if this is posted in the wrong place this is my first post 😬 I was sleeved on 1/15/18 and am now 4 Days post op and 3 Days home. My surgery was done robotically and I have 5 incisions, none in my belly button. I just recently stood up from a laying position and felt a weird pulling sensation to the right of my belly button and on the right inside of my belly button, then small popping feeling and now I am experiencing a pins and needles sensation in the area since this happened (10 minutes ago) has anyone experienced this? Should I contact my surgeon? I’m freaking out lol. Edited January 19, 2018 by TraceyH04 Typo 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My surgery is scheduled for 3/13.

FluffyChix 17,418 Posted January 19, 2018 Oh gosh I get you! I hate the unknown and "is this normal" stuff after surgeries!!! I second the "calling the doc" advice. They are expecting these types of calls so soon after surgery. Swearsies! Let us know what they say! 1 TraceyH04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losebig 508 Posted January 19, 2018 Definitely call, pain is normal popping isn't. Want to make sure you didn't pull a stitch or something. 1 TraceyH04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I called and my post op NP said she hasn’t heard this with every case but it isn’t the first time she’s heard it, she thinks I may have over done it today and told me to actually do LESS! Haha total first for me to hear lol. The pins and needles have subsided some, now it’s just an annoying little achy/slight numb feeling next to my belly button and that I can handle!

She didn’t seem concerned, and it felt like it was in the belly button where I don’t have any stitches so she’s thinking it’s a nerve pain escoeically with the slight numbness and tingling I had earlier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losebig 508 Posted January 20, 2018 That's good news! Hopefully with doing less the pain will go away. 1 TraceyH04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LELH 72 Posted January 20, 2018 Someone in my FB group said that her surgeon did an internal stitch to help avoid a hernia and a pop could be felt when it breaks. It's supposed to break. Could be that! 2 FluffyChix and TraceyH04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JavaKnut 104 Posted January 21, 2018 I had the same thing happen. I had the surgeon check for hernia and hematoma, and I was cleared. I didn't hear a pop, but I thought I felt one. It was tender to the touch for at least another week and was painful for only a day or two before it was just sensitive to movement or touching. 1 1 TraceyH04 and FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
