Pouch or stomach pain?



Recommended Posts

Hi

Has anyone had pain in their pouch or stomach? Im not sure I can tell the difference of where it is coming from.

Can anyone describe what it feels like when you have stretched the pouch? or injured it?

I also sometimes get what feels like a sudden cramp in the pouch or stomach area. This is new.

I see my surgeon on Wed. for my 4th fill, but I'm having this pain and I'm not sure it's a good idea to get a fill. He does not take much time to talk, so I want to have my symptom description and questions clearly formed before I go in.

I have been hungry a lot. I can eat anything I want. I am still losing weight, but it's because I pretend I can't eat much -- not because I can't. 10 days ago I went to Breakfast with a friend and had a pancake, a serving of tofu, 3 slices of bacon, and Decaf coffee. This is a large meal for me these days and I came to a point that no more food would fit. But I am now concerned I may have stretched the pouch and maybe that is why I have that pain.

If this sounds familiar to you or you have a supportive comment, please respond :)

Yesterday I woke up feeling fat and ugly. Today I sat down and crossed my legs for the first time in decades!! So sometimes this journey takes on a roller coaster feel to it. We all know about that!

Thank you for your support here.

      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?
