Tiny But Sharp Pain After Lunch



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone!!!

This is my first topic (yay)! I checked the forum and couldnt find a topic close to mine so here goes...

I was banded on 5/1/12 and I have no fill yet. I Just had lunch with DH and as soon as I got to my car (we met each other there during work) I started feeling this sharp tiny pain coming from center left (my left) of my abdomen, near my ribcage, maybe kind of where I might have had something stitched.

Its not a humongous pain, but its sharp enough for me to notice that it might be throbbing a little bit at this point after having intermittent pains. I feel that my lunch/dinner was no different or larger than I normally have had since being able to have solids so I dont know what it could be.

Any advice?

I have experienced a similar pain...the doctors are still running tests to determine the cause of it.

If it persists, be sure to notify your surgeon. I hope the pain went away...

It could be where you had a stitch but you are about six weeks post op so shouldn't be too much going on there. It may be totally unrelated to your band. You describe it as tiny so I wouldn't be too worried just yet. If it doesn't go away or gets worse, be sure to get medical advice, just to give you peace of mind.

      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?
