What Is On The Left?



Recommended Posts

I was banded on mar 13 and have been doing well except for this annoying what feels like gas trapped but not sure on my left side under my breast. Anyone have the problem? When I eat it seem to get worse

Make sure you are up and walking around the house. I have read about that left side pain on here so others who have already been there will probably comment and give you more advice. Good luck on your journey!! I am headed that way!!

Your stomach is on the left. It may be something as simple as taking one bite too many. You may also find that things shift a bit after you drop a few more pounds and the feeling will go away.

I have actually been moving around a lot I went back to work after 6 days so that keeps me busy. I have been trying gas-x and that really hasn't helped me much. Also I still cannot eat much I have one egg for Breakfast, lunch yogurt 3oz, and dinner I have some tuna 2.3oz and all meals take me 40-50 min to eat so my bites are very small. I think I should be eating a little more but I just can't right now I get full so fast. Any one else going through this?

I have the same thing too. I cant eat much at all. I cant tolerate all the things that other people on here seem to eat with ease, eggs, tuna etc.... It just gets stuck and im forever burping it down (or up).

Like someone above said it may just be one bite too many, although your not eating much you may have got something lodged and thats causing the pain and then whatever your putting on top of that is getting lodged too. Try warm liquids for a couple of days again and it should clear. I tend to do that now just out of habit as it helps everything shift. Hope it eases for you.

That's a really good idea I think I'm gonna try that cause this really didn't start till I started my mushies and some meats. Thanks let me know how it works for you as well. When did you have your sugery? And do you still have some pain when you bend down to pick something up?

      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?
