Pain

[Nanoosa]

So I know I should talk to my dr and I will. But is this normal? I was sleeved on the 12th and I'm having this tugging burning sensation that almost feels like its on my skin or just under the surface when I stand or lay down on either side. It's above my belly button more towards the left side. Is this normal? Any advice for relieving the pain ?

Maybe is that your insicions are healing

Incisions, gas or stomach reflux. Have you been taking tums to get calcium? They will help with reflux if it is that too.

I called my dr and they said it was an incision. They said they had to pull very tight since I had a hiatal hernia. Ohh I'm suffering and I have 6 hours flying till I get home. Prayers please !

Hope you feel better soon!!!! Praying for an easy flight!!!!!

Safe flying, hope that they gave you pain meds that you can use as well. Remember to walk as much as you can, sip, sip, sip during the flight; and when you get home use lots and lots of pillows to help you get comfortable in bed -- they also help with getting in and out too!

I had that same pain for 3 - 4 weeks. Dr. said it was the main incision where they stitched it inside.

Think that's normal, I had it. Scar tissue and adhesions form whenever you are cut on. You also may also one day feel a pop/sting sensation when/if the adhesion breaks and then everything frees up. May not happen although that was my experience.
