Someone please help because I don't know what to do. I had

my band done on may 24. Everything went great. Better than

expected. Then on Friday I started getting a pain in my stomach.

Nothing alarming at first just kind of annoying. The only way I

can describe it is it feels like I am really realy hungry and my

stomach needs to growl but it won't. It was not bad at first because

I knew I was not. Long story short I got really sick on Saturday and

Sunday. Called my doctor. We had me come in one today. He let 3 cc

out of my band. Had one clue that I had anything in my band. So

now he says it completely empty. So now the pain is worse. I have

tried everything..... I have tried not eating.... Eating.... Mints. Eating

or drinking seems to relieve it for about 30 minutes and then it

comes back full force. Anybody else felt this? Does it ever stop?

What do I do?

I would call your doctor tomorrow and tell him that you are still in pain, there might very well be something wrong that he can't see unless he does an x-ray. I myself had surgery on May 6th and have felt no pain like this at all, so just take your pain meds, sleep on it, and call in the morning. Keep us posted.

I am sorry you are having such a hard time with it. The only other thing I could suggest it might be is gas pain, but from the way you described it, I'm not exactly sure.

      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?
