In the middle of the night....



Recommended Posts

have any of you woken up in pain? I woke up last night or should I say early this am with horrible pain. I cannot pinpoint it but would say it felt like it was in the middle of my back. So I get up, and think this hurts. I drank half a bottle of Protein Shake and went back to bed. I really think it was hunger. How many has this happened to? Thanks ya'll!

I was getting that and sometimes still do but from what I have read on this forum it appears to be gas pain and the gas pain is alleviated when you walk around which I have noticed that the walking does help a lot. I guess if the Protein Shake helped then that is what is necessary - if that would help me I would probably do the same. I have been working hard to try not to eat at night.

i'm only 4 days out but i have also experienced this kind of pain. the only real pain that i've had so far is the gas. it's killing me! i get up and walk around, even though it hurts to get up, i feel that i have to and at least get the gas moving about. sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.

K-butterfly,

Have you tried a heating pad? I slept with one the first week and a half. Put it on you upper shoulders or upper back if that is where the pain is. One day you will wake up and it will be gone :scared2: Trust me. (I am only 11 days out)

      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.
