15 mos Post Op--Tummy burning - ThinnerTimes

StephRye · 11-01-2006, 11:49 AM

Hiya...I am 15 months post op and I have had a strange burning sensation in my tummy for the last few days. Not like heartburn...more like when you take a pill on an empty stomach kind of burn. Has anyone experienced this? Also, its making all kinds of growling noises...constantly.

Any info would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Hey well just to let you know I am getting the same burning and I am 2 yrs 5 months out and its not an everyday thing but once in a while usually in the middle of the night in the pit of my stomach it just starts to burn so much that it wakes me up I take deep breaths tru and drink a little water and just breath deeply for a little while all while rubbing my belly and saying over and over in my head please just go away please just go away and I have noticed that when I lay on my side or on my stomach is when it burns the most but when I roll over and lay flat on my back with no pillows or anything and just rub and say just go away after about 15 minutes it seems to disappear and I am with you on the its not heartburn its just a weird unexplained burning in the pit of the stomach. I still havent figured it out and keep forgetting to mention it to my PCP cause like I said it does not happen a lot but it does happen once in a while. Good luck and if you find out what it is let me know and I will do the same for you.

Could be an ulcer. I would have it checked out soon.
