Hello Everyone,

I was banded on 3/24 and have been having really sharp pains in my lower left abdomen. It seems to get worse the more that I move around. I am able to eat fine and haven't had any vomitting. I am having a CT scan done tomorrow to check and see what is going on. My doctor didn't really say what he thought it was.

Has anyone had this type of pain before?

I was banded the day after you on 3/25. I too have pains in my left side and I was worried that it was my port....since the long incision is on the left side just below the pain. I was worried that it was my port and that it had come lose or was rubbing against something.

I had a fill yesterday and the doctor had me point to where exactly it hurt. He checked his chart and said that is where he found and fixed a hernia during the surgery. It was not my port...he checked under floro during the fill. He said that the hernia repair will be sore when I stretch the muscles. He didn't give me a time frame for when it will no longer bother me.

I really hope that your pain is something simple like mine. Good luck tomorrow and let us know what it ends up being.

      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?
