4 days post op and still feel gas-y and have pain in the left part of my back



Recommended Posts

I feel like I drink fluids allllll day long but my lower- mid back hurts. I am thinking it might be my kidney. Has anyone has this feeling? Also i feel like the gas is trying to decide where to go so it ends up hurting me and just sitting right below my throat for a few seconds before it will subside. Please tell me I'm not the only who is feelin this way. Anyways to help would be more then appreciated :thumbup:

I am 10 days post op, I was very gassy and bloated up until day 8. Yesterday was the first day I felt minimal pain, bloating, swelling or discomfort.

Make sure you are getting plenty of Water as your kidneys and liver can be overworked during your liquid phase. At day 4 I felt lousy and had much pain and discomfort, it gets better every day and today I feel so much better!

      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?
