Weird pain and question about fill



Recommended Posts

ok i have 2 problems. i had surgery on june 10th and i feel great other than the fact that when i bend completely over, i have a stabbing pain that feels like its right behind my belly button. everyone has been saying its probably my port but my port is way higher right under my ribs..anyone know what it might be?

problem number 2 is that i had i believe 3cc's put in at surgery, and i feel NOTHING. the second week i was eating whatever i want and had no restriction at all. im scared i might never feel anything!

Your pain is probably the port, but I would check with your dr. to make sure.

Are you sure you got any fill? I know some drs do the first fill in surgery, so maybe for you, it just wasn't enough. I don't have a fill yet. I'm at 5 weeks. Get my fill at 8 weeks. But I am following the guidelines of 3-4 oz. of food at each "meal" and 80 grams protein/64 oz Water in between. It is getting me used to taking tiny bites, putting my fork down between bites, and chew chew chew! And even though I don't have a fill yet, I feel satisified, never hungry! So until your next fill, maybe pace yourself and see if that helps. Good luck!

      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?
