I am 11 days post op. I had my follow up with surgeon yesterday and am down 16 pounds since the Tuesday before surgery. Yeah! I was doing really good with minimal pain (stopped pain meds4 days out of surgery). I have no issues with the liquid diet. Today woke up with an incredible stabbing pain in the middle off my back on the left side. The stabbing pain occurs whenever I inhale. Plus I am extremely tired. Any one else out there experience this? What could it be? Called the surgeons office and they are closed today except for the receptionist. She recommended I cAll my primary care doctor. Have an appointment later today, just concerned on what this could be. Any advice? Carrie Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Another update - I ended up in the ER today as the pain got worse. I got a cat scan and it ended up that a part of my spleen was damaged during surgery. That part is dying off and the cause of the stabbing pain. Good news is no surgery needed just time to let it heal. Now on oxicodeine for the next few days. This pain is worse than after surgery!

My coordinator told me they use the weight after the supervised diet to supply to insurance for approval. She told me not to lose more than 30 pounds during this time or I would be under the 40 bmi. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
