Punched in the Solar Plexes



Recommended Posts

:help: Hi all,

I was banded in Oz on 14th of April, so far I feel fine EXCPET when I walk around a fair bit... I get this kind of feeling, like when someone punches you in the solar plexes or you get winded.... its not as bad as that, but its definaltey like I've been winded...

Did anyone else expereince that? its painful, but not enought to have be rushing off to the dr, especially if its a normal part of the process....

Can anyone share any experiences with me????

Oh, this is to be expected! Your diaphram is likely bruised, and many bandsters report this sensation. I'm not even going to call it a complication. You organs are not designed to have someone messing with them, so they are still trying to figure out what happened.

You've just had major surgery, you now have a medical implant, so part of the issue is that your body is still in the WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?????? mode.

Be kind to yourself, you are doing fine. Welcome to the Banded Gentry.

      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?
