Hello All

I am hoping some of you will be able to help me . I was banded august 2010 and ever since i woke up from the op i have had severe pain not only from the port which i seem to have everyday but on the other side as well. i am so fed up with pain pain pain. If i take pain killers i am so constipated that it takes a week and lots of laxatives to get anything through. Has anyone else had this roblem i have written to my surgeon to ask for it to be removed but he just wanted some tests done which i have done and self paid for to get some answers. My husband wants me to get it our and have my life back. What do i do. I feel i should never have had it done i should have just stopped eatin all the crap.

Help Please

I haven't had any pain so I don't know what you are going through but I have heard of others having this issue and I think they trie moving the port. Without the band I could keep for eating the stuff I shouldn't.

      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?
