Help!!! Extreme sudden pain!!

[sheffieldamanda]

Hi, I'm 3 weeks post op gastric sleeve. Everything has been going fine, but today I got out of bed & when I stood up I had this searing, shooting pain in my belly. It's low down, around my belly button & near the bottom right & middle wounds. I am scared, I have not felt pain like this since my op....if I lay day the pain eases but I've just tried to stand up again & the searing pain comes back, I have to sit straight back down again & lean forward clutching my belly to ease the pain. I've taken paracetamol but it's not helped. I've not eaten today because I woke up feeling very gassy & bloated. I'm really worried, might have to call the out of hours GP??

Have called 111 & they say I need to see a doctor, so they will get one to ring me.

Yes best get that checked, could be a torn stitch but could be anything...

Seen a doctor & they are not sure what it is but have been re-admitted. Feeling fine apart from the pain on standing - looks like I'll need a scan to investigate. And I was only saying yesterday how well my recovery was going! x

Glad you are in the safest place, hope they find out what's causing the pain and it's nothing major!

You will be sorted out I'm sure good luck x

Panic over! Thanks for all your replies. They didn't scan me in the end, they said if it was a leak then I'd look much more poorly & other than the abdo pain I was feeling fine. They've put it down to ordinary post op pain probably caused by me overdoing it yesterday as I did a lot of walking, either that or a ball of trapped wind which has now passed. Am feeling back to normal now, thank goodness, just hope the pain doesn't come back as it was excruciating! x
