Banded 12/17. On day 3 of mushies. Im extremely irritated every time I eat, I have pain just below my collar bone on my left side. I've heard this is common. How long will this last?!

could be eating too fast (still swollen after surgery still) or too big of bites or too soon for what you are eating...or a combo of all three...best to eat slow, chew alot and be patient in healing.

Did i get any fills during surgery? Spme surgeons do that. If so, maybe you are too tight. If no fill, could be gas.

The left shoulder area of pain is usually gas, I had it for about a week after surgery, it lessened as the days went by, but it was there. Some say gas x and a heating pad will help, I did take gas x, but not sure if it helped.

      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?
