have you had stomach pain PRE-Operation dieting?



Recommended Posts

I have been on a low carb high Protein diet for 9 days. I have had stomach pain in my upper abdomen and nausea. When I eat it gets worse. When I don't eat the pain goes away. The stomach pain doesn't move around, stays in one place. Don't have diahreah or Constipation or abnormal passing of gas. It hurts bad enough that I have to lay down and I have a reasonable tolerance to pain. I am going to call the doctor on Monday, but have any of you had that reaction from eating a low carb/high protein diet? Good news, I have lost 10 pounds in 9 days.

Hello,

I was in the same position about a week ago. I called the doctors office and was taken off the pre-op diet and was advised to eat smaller portions. My back pain was so severe I could not bend over. I went back on the diet for the last two days since I am being banded tomorrow. Now I am a little concerned about the liver issue.

      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.
