Does anyone know if gaining lots of fat in the belly area can effect a Jpouch? I've gained about 25 pounds-mostly in my belly-over the last year. Over the last few months I've had strange shooting-pain/ sensations (feels nerve-related) near scar sites/ incisions sites. Had Cat Scan done & Doc said all is well in the areas where I feel the pains. In the last 2 weeks I have been dieting & lost 5 pounds & have noticed that I haven't felt the "pain" in days. I'm thinking that the belly fat & expanded skin may be stretching scar tissue inside or moving things around. I have no idea.

I would agree that the extra weight caused pulling on scar tissue/adhesions. I know when I was pregnant, I had all sorts of crazy, horrible shooting pains, which were almost unbearable at the end. After delivery, I was fine. My docs attributed all of it to scar tissue pulling and ripping with the added burden of the baby. I gained approx. 30 lbs with both my pregnancies. I hope you are feeling better.

Best,

Colleen
