Hi
I've had laparoscopic surgery where they took out about 8 inches of my small intestine 2 1/2 months ago and though I'm feeling well and am working again and everything, I still have this weird sensation in my tummy.
It's right where they took out the part of my bowel, it's not painful but it feels like something is pulling me from the inside.
Also the scar around my belly button worries me a bit since it's still quite red and depending on how I move it does hurt a little bit still, but it's been like that for weeks. When I went for my follow-up appointment a few weeks ago, my surgeon said that everything seems to be ok.
I'm currently just not sure if this is normal or if I should try and go see a doctor before my GI appointment in 3 weeks.
