Severe stomach pain



Recommended Posts

For the past 2 days I have been experiencing some pretty bad stomach pain....it ranges inbetween my navel and right under my breasts. It gets worse when I lay on my left side or back....does this sound like gas/constipation or something worse (band slippage?) ? I am kind of paranoid right now..

If in doubt call your surgeon. You didn't say when your surgery was.

I had alot of pain in my upper left abdominal area after my surgery. I still get it from time to time. I have come to identify it as gas.

But if this is new and severe, don't mess around, it is worth a call in to your doc.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
