New RNY girl here! Love that there is a forum for us!

Hello!  I think that I have posted on this forum before.  I am 2 and a half weeks post op RNY.  I started out at 372. I have lost 40 lbs in the last month.  I lost 20 lbs pre op and then gained back 10 in the hospital. and now I have lost 30 lbs since surgery.  I have had a ****ty couple of weeks but its actually starting to get a little better.  I still have off two weeks for work and I am super excited about it.  Only weird thing is that I have this odd, sharp, burning and pulling pain on the left side of my belly button from time to time.  I get it when i sit down or stand up or bend at all.  It recently started the last few days. i do hope its nothing serious and I hope that it goes away soon.  Anyone experience anything like this?

Thanks!  :)

it is probably just an internal stitch  that will go away in a few days you could call your doctor to make shore

Welcome! You should come back for the Monday weigh ins! 

PI hope your pain gets better! You are doing awesome:)

Thanks! I will come back for Monday weigh ins!

Hey there, I had that same pain. Doctor said it was indeed an internal stitch. Mine didnt start until i really started healthing. Congrats on the loss. My heighest was 401, they had me do low carb and lost 15lbs and then with liquid diet I was 377 day of surgery. I am 299 today, so ive lost 78lbs since surgery and 101 total with preop diet. Its an amazing ride.

Thanks! How long did your pain last? I hope it goes away within a couple of days! Hurts like a ***** sometimes. Congrats on the weight loss! See u here often!

I had that pain also. I was sleeved but the doctor told me it was an internal stitch where they pulled the stomach out. In 2 weeks you will be as good as new. Congrats!

Hugs,
