Pain When I Take A Deep Breath



Recommended Posts

I was banded on October 1st. Around the 9th day post op, I was feeling much better. meaning I had no more gas pain, I could sleep on my side and I was starting to feel hungry. I have been sticking to my post op diet and the amount of food I'm suppose to eat. yesterday I started feeling a sharp pain on my right side when I take a deep breath. has anyone else experienced this?

Hey there,

I was banded on the 1st too and at about day 8 I also started having sharp pain on my right side in the location of the port. Mine isn't from breathing deep though. Mine is strictly when I move to get up from a sitting or lying position. I had my first OP appt. yesterday and the surgeon couldn't really tell much cause there still a lot of swelling, but said he would know for sure if something isn't right when I go in for my first fill on Nov. 8th cause the swelling should be gone by then.

Have you tried feeling for the exact location of the pain to see where it's coming from?

      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?
