Recommended Posts

I am four weeks out now on solid foods and for the last 3 days my upper left portion of my stomach hurts ... not if I'm just sitting but if I take steps or lay on my left side. No other symptoms. ??? Anyone help??

I'm going through the same thing and I am 3 months post op! I have been in the ER 3 times for it now and they can't figure it out. They don't want to admit that it is the band causing so much pain. I wish I could help! I'll keep you posted if I find out any more answers... The only thing I can say is that most people stop feeling pain after a little while. My situation may just be rare.

I have pain, but I think mine is from my port. It is on my left side and I'm also about 4 weeks post op. I can't tell where my band is at.

      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.
